3. Tach Channel Noise Rejection Debounce A noise rejection debounce circuit is used to eliminate noise associated with tachometers ZonicBook 618E s debounce circuit makes use of a delay time in the range of 500 ns to 25 5 ms or no delay time at all Related configuration is made via eZ Analyst or eZ TOMAS software A few terms related to noise rejection and which are used in eZ Analyst and eZ TOMAS are Edge Detect Edge Detect is short for Tach Pulse Edge Detection The term pertains to detecting the rising or falling edge of a tachometer pulse using either an Immediate or Delayed mode Immediate Edge Detection Before Stable Immediate is one of two Edge Detect modes The term is synonymous with Before Stable If Immediate edge detection is selected a tach pulse will be recognized on any instantaneous measurement that meets the trigger level criteria In this setup the Delay Value is the amount of time before the next tach pulse can be recognized If a keyway is being used as a tach trigger you must calculate the minimum pulse width based on the maximum RPM rate expected Delayed Edge Detection After Stable Delayed is one of two Edge Detect modes The term is synonymous with After Stable If Delayed edge detection is selected a tach pulse will be recognized when the measurement meets the trigger criteria for the specified duration In this setup the De

17. From Coupling Circuit Comparator To Debounce Programmable pee Threshold Comparator The comparator s threshold is set by the DAC The threshold can be set anywhere from 12 5V to 12 5V in 100mV steps Since the counter output and analog waveform can be scanned together the effects of different comparator switching thresholds can be easily observed This allows easy adjustment of the comparator switching threshold based on input waveform characteristics such as noise and ringing The following diagram shows two common input waveforms a square wave that has some ringing and a sine wave The comparator threshold should be set so that the ringing on the square wave does not cause extraneous switching of the comparator causing false counts to be measured Ideally the comparator threshold should be set so that the comparator switches at the point of fastest slew rate on the input waveform This occurs in the grayed regions of the waveforms Amplitude modulated noise may also cause false switching of the comparator The effects of amplitude modulated noise can be minimized by setting the threshold at the point of fastest slew rate on the input waveform The sine wave shown below has its fastest slew rate within the gray region Set the comparator threshold within the gray regions to avoid the effects of ringing and noise Set the threshold within the gray region Setting the Comparator Threshold 7 4 Tach Channels 917695 ZonicBook 618E
