Abstract
A debounce apparatus and a method thereof are provided, which includes a debounce module, a register and a timer. The debounce module receives an input signal and eliminates a bounce phenomenon of the input signal within a transient-time of the state-changing of the input signal to produce a debounce signal. The register outputs an output signal according to the value stored in the register. When the input signal changes its state, the timer starts time-counting according to a counting-value of settling-time; when the debounce signal changes its state, the timer recounts time; and when time-counting is ended and when the value corresponding to the debounce signal is different from the register's value, the register's value is updated by the value corresponding to the debounce signal. In this way, the apparatus can eliminate the system misjudgement problem caused by occurred voltage level errors in the stable state.
