Abstract
A glitch detector for use in a sampled data acquisition system is disclosed. Glitch detection is provided by a flip-flop which is set on a first signal transition, conditioning a logic gate, the output of which changes logic states on a second signal transition. Two such glitch detectors operatively associated with complementary data signals permits detection of either positive-going or negative-going glitches within a sample clock period. A glitch indication flip-flop is reset by a glitch detection signal, providing a glitch indication signal to an output terminal via a latch. Control and reset circuits are provided to facilitate glitch detection on every cycle of the sample clock, and at any point within a sample clock period.
