Significance and Use4.1 Contact bounce time is essential to manufacturers andusers when designing interface circuitry because it specifies thetime delay necessary in the decoder circuitry to avoid any falsesignals
13、caused by contact bounce. Allowing for time delaymakes the switch operation considerably more reliable.5.
