|    Spurious triggering of 4013 flip-flop    |

      XPost: sci.electronics.design       From: me@somewhere.invalid              One of my garden lamp circuits is shown here:              https://www.dropbox.com/s/10cc6lwfrsqjp68/DiningLamp-Post.jpg?raw=1              But the CMOS 4013 flip-flop circuit suffers from occasional spurious       triggering. Somehow it frequently gets activated overnight.       Frustratingly I’m unable to pin it down. But I suspect it may be due to       the very long wire (60 ft or so) carrying the high-going brief input       signal. In places that runs alongside other wiring, some DC, some mains       and that situation cannot be changed.              So I’m seeking suggestions on either alternative input filtering or       failing that an entirely new toggle circuit.              Hope I’m not breaking the rules by posting in both forums.              Terry, East Grinstead, UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
