- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of an input conditioning circuit?
**A**: The primary function is to prepare and standardize raw input signals by filtering noise, amplifying weak signals, debouncing mechanical switch inputs, and providing clean, reliable signals for counting or processing operations in electronic systems.

### Q: Why is debounce circuitry important in input conditioning?
**A**: Debounce circuitry eliminates contact bounce from mechanical switches or relays that can cause multiple false counts. This ensures each physical input action registers as a single, clean signal for accurate counting operations.

### Q: What industries commonly use input conditioning circuits?
**A**: These circuits are essential in computer manufacturing, optical equipment production, industrial automation, medical device manufacturing, and any electronic system requiring reliable signal processing from sensors, switches, or transducers.
