1.2.4 Output Filtering

The output of each comparator unit can either be used directly with no filtering (giving a lower latency signal, with potentially more noise around the comparison threshold) or be passed through a multiple stage digital majority filter. Several filter lengths are available, with the longer stages producing a more stable result, at the expense of a higher latency.

When output filtering is used in single shot mode, a single trigger of the comparator will automatically perform the required number of samples to produce a correctly filtered result.
