Early Reset Debouncer
Mechanical switches and noisy communication lines produce rapid voltage spikes before settling. A robust debouncer prevents false triggers by requiring a continuous, unbroken period of stability before registering a state change.
The circuit monitors the noisy input din. If din changes state, the internal counter resets to zero immediately. Output dout updates to the value of din only after din remains stable for 4 consecutive clock cycles. Once dout updates, it holds that value until din stabilizes at a new value for 4 continuous clock cycles. Any glitch or premature transition on din must clear the stability count entirely.
Constraints
- Implement using standard flip-flops and combinational logic.
- Reset the internal counter synchronously on any cycle where the current
dindiffers from the previousdin. - Do not use high-level delays or behavioral wait statements.
