Systems and methods for debouncing a signal line within a computer device are provided. The mechanical nature of physical buttons and switches oftentimes present irregular or noisy signals on a signal line when depressed by a user. Thus, noise and/or irregular waveforms may be present on a signal line that is monitored to produce interrupt signals, when deemed valid and genuine. In many embodiments given herein, debounce modules and techniques set a debounce interval timer and/or a noise filtering interval timer in which debounce modules and/or techniques may note whether the signal line is still asserted (e.g., possibly a genuine interrupt signal) during the debounce interval timer and stable (e.g., no further interrupts have fired) during the noise filtering interval timer. |
