+// Created: 10/10/2009
+// Modified: 3/20/2012
+//
+// Counter based debounce circuit originally written for EC551 (back
+// in the day) and then modified (i.e. chagned entirely) into 3 always
+// block format. This debouncer generates a signal that goes high for
+// 1 clock cycle after the clock sees an asserted value on the button
+// line. This action is then disabled until the counter hits a
+// specified count value that is determined by the clock frequency and
+// desired debounce frequency. An alternative implementation would not
+// use a counter, but would use the shift register approach, looking
+// for repeated matches (say 5) on the button line.
