The voltage generated by a piezo transducer can activate a digital circuit. One may build a simple demonstration switch from a piezo transducer and a 4013 D type flip flop (see Figure 12). Each time the piezo film is hit, it triggers the 4013 turning the LED on and off on alternate triggers. While this circuit works , it is unreliable, due to the waveform of the generated piezo pulse signal. To a digital circuit, a piezo-electric pulse will resemble a switch bounce with decay (see Figure 2).
