3 SUMMARY

Using both solutions shown in this note avoids any potential for data corruption during the

power supply rise/fall time.

The software solution is inexpensive and must be systematically used. The hardware solution

costs little and should be used whenever the power supply is particularly slow (rise/fall time >

100ms) or if the supply comes from the mains through a single resistor and diode network.
