Debounce a Switch
Physical buttons and switches can produce multiple outputs from a single button press due to bouncing of the internal contacts. This video presents a simple solution to eliminate multiple triggers from this effect.

Controlling an Indicator LED
Most modern systems like PLC’s or network equipment, shown here, contain some form of LED indicators. This video walks through the design process and the important parameters to consider.

Eliminate Slow or Noisy Input Signals
Sometimes slow or noisy signals are unavoidable in a system. This video discusses some of the specific issues seen when connecting a slow or noisy signal into a CMOS input, and what can be done to eliminate those signals.
