Hello,
I was, naively, wondering wether I should worry about power switch bounce. I am designing a battery-powered circuit for an nRF52 bluetooth module and I need a switch between the battery and the voltage regulator. Then I started to worry about the current spikes created when the device is switched ON/OFF and how it may affect the microprocessor. I read a few forum threads and articles including those below but they mainly deal with logic switches and not power switches:

Should I put a simple RC across the power switch ? How can I calculate the values of theses components ?

Thanks !

 

I doubt it's worth it. For high voltage switches or relay contacts a suppressor (a capacitor in series with a resistor) can be connected across the contacts to reduce arcing but for your application there isn't going to be any significant arcing.

 

Thanks, I am more worried about the microcontroller than damaging the switch. Arcing, you are right, is not an issue.
