Abstract: An electronic circuit for a contactless, piezoelectric switch assembly. The piezoelectric switch assembly includes a piezoelectric module which generates voltages under manual pressure and electronic circuit operative to perform a predetermined switch function upon receipt of these electrical signals. The electronic circuit performs a variety of switching functions, such as: toggle on and off; dimmer setting; momentary on. The sensing means of the electronic circuit is coupled to the piezoelectric module via a reference voltage and a negative current source that pulls one terminal of the piezoelectric module toward the reference voltage. A slew rate limited buffer amplifier drives a comparator with hysteresis achieved by changing the comparison voltage. This hysteresis serves to reduce detection of jitter and noise in the initial application of pressure.
