Chapter 4 Digital Input/Output and PFI
Assume that an input terminal has been low for a long time. The input terminal then changes
from low to high, but glitches several times. When the Filter Clock has sampled the signal high
on N consecutive edges, the low-to-high transition is propagated to the rest of the circuit. The
value of N depends on the filter setting, as shown in Table 4-1.
On power up, the filters are disabled. Figure 4-7 shows an example of a low-to-high transition
on an input that has a custom filter set to N = 5.
