9.2.3 Input Filtering and Detection

To reduce the possibility of noise or other transient signals causing unwanted device wake-ups, interrupts, and/or events via an external interrupt channel. A hardware signal filter can be enabled on individual channels. This filter provides a Majority-of-Three voter filter on the incoming signal, so that the input state is considered to be the majority vote of three subsequent samples of the pin input buffer. The possible sampled input and resulting filtered output when the filter is enabled is shown in Table 9-1.
