- Solution : Use 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of supply pins, with additional 1 μF bulk capacitor for noisy environments
Input Signal Conditioning
- Pitfall : Unfiltered inputs susceptible to noise-induced false triggering
- Solution : Implement RC filters with time constants appropriate for signal bandwidth
- Implementation : Series resistor (100Ω-1kΩ) and shunt capacitor (10pF-100pF) at comparator inputs
Hysteresis Implementation
- Pitfall : Missing hysteresis causing output chatter with slow-moving inputs
- Solution : Add positive feedback using resistor network
- Calculation : R1 and R2 values calculated based on required hysteresis voltage and supply voltage
