チャタリング
【英】chatteringチャタリングとは、スイッチ機構やリレー機構などにおいて、オン・オフの接点が切り替わる際に、オン・オフが細かく繰り返される現象のことである。
チャタリングは装置の微細な振動などによって生じる。チャタリングが発生すると、ほとんど一瞬の間に複数回のオン・オフ切り替えが行われたことになってしまう。デジタル回路などでは、チャタリングによるオン・オフも通常のオン・オフと同様の入力としてカウントされてしまうので、誤動作を誘発しやすい。これを防ぐために、一般的にはチャタリングによるオン・オフを無視できるような回路構成を設置する措置がとられている。
ちなみにチャタリング（chattering）とは、元々「ガタガタという」などといった意味の英語である。
