Switch Debouncer With Auto Repeat
This circuit can be analyzed in terms of its key components and their interactions. The pushbutton switch SW1 acts as the input trigger, initiating the pulse generation when pressed. The hysteresis gate oscillator, utilizing a 74HCT14 Schmitt trigger, provides a stable output by ensuring that the output state changes only when the input crosses specific voltage thresholds.
Diode D1 serves to create asymmetry in the charge and discharge cycles of capacitor C1, which is critical for defining the timing characteristics of the oscillator. The resistor R2 plays a role in controlling the discharge path of C1, thereby influencing the time it takes for the capacitor to reach the upper gate threshold of 2.3 V.
The DBRT is a crucial parameter that defines the delay before the oscillator can repeat its cycle. It is determined by the time required for C1 to charge to the upper threshold, which is a function of the circuit's resistive and capacitive components. The hysteresis effect, characterized by a voltage difference of less than 1 V, ensures that noise does not cause false triggering of the output pulse.
The relationships between the resistors R1, R2, and R3 are significant in ensuring that R1 is much smaller than R3, and R2 is much smaller than R1. This configuration allows for optimal performance of the oscillator, ensuring that the timing and pulse generation are reliable and consistent. The circuit design is thus a balance of component values that achieves the desired output characteristics while maintaining stability and responsiveness in pulse generation. This circuit produces an output pulse when SW1 (pushbutton) is depressed. It also becomes a hysteresis ga te oscillator. Dl and R2 add asymmetry. The DBRT (delay before repeat time) is caused by the oscillator start-up conditions: CI has to change from zero to the upper gate threshold rather than to the lower threshold. The auto repeat time: Gate hysteresis « 1 V for 74HCT14 gate, DBRT= 0.7T (upper gate threshold hysteresis).
