| Hardware Filtering on 1012’s Digital Inputs | September 9, 2008 |
|
The new version of the 1012 PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16 has built-in filtering on the digital input, to eliminate false triggering from electrical noise. The digital input is first RC filtered by a 15K/100nF node, which rejects noise of higher frequency than 1Khz. This filter generally eliminates the need to shield the digital input from inductive and capacitive coupling likely to occur in wiring harnesses.
