Abstract:
A digital signal output device prevents a chattering phenomenon by utilizing hysteresis characteristics of two Zener diodes having different reference voltages. The device includes an input terminal for receiving an input voltage and an output terminal configured to output different digital signal values according to the on/off status of a first photocoupler. The device outputs a first digital signal value (e.g., “1”) when the received input voltage increases to a voltage level greater than or equal to a first reference voltage, and to output a second digital signal value (e.g., “0”) when the received input voltage having increased to the voltage level greater than or equal to the first reference voltage subsequently decreases to a voltage level less than a second reference voltage that is lover lower than the first reference voltage.

Claim (Index 4):
The digital signal output device of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a first photocoupler including a first light receiving portion connected to the second Zener diode.
