Runt pulse
In
digital circuits, a runt pulse is a narrow pulse
that,
due to non-zero rise and fall times of the signal, does not reach a valid
high or low level. A runt pulse may occur when switching between
metastable
.
Example
Some oscilloscopes provide a method for triggering on runt pulses. The oscilloscope triggers when the signal crosses one of two voltage thresholds, but not both.[1]
