Almost OT: Pushbutton switch latching

I initally didn't think about the initial power-up setting, but in this application it doesn't much matter - I guess defaulting to none pressed (or #1 pressed, even better) would be good. I don't intend to press two switches at once, but if it were to happen, it doesn't much matter - either one could take priority. I'd rather not have more than one select output active at a time, but it's not a huge problem if it happens. Timing is totally non-critical. Two outputs can be active for a tiny period, no outputs active during switching is fine. The idea is to simply control some CBT3244A bus switching chips to switch some analog signals. I want to avoid having each chip controlled by a toggle on/off switch, because then in order to change signals you would have to manually turn off one, and turn on the next. The main thing I'm trying to achieve is simplicity. Nothing fancy. No PIC's, no microcontrollers, etc. I initially thought of using flip flops and a bunch of inverters to reset all the non-selected flip flop, but couldn't work out in my head a good way to do it... I hadn't taken switch debouncing into the equation - but aren't flip flops commonly used to debounce switches anyway? No, you're absolutely correct. I just didn't properly define the requirements. It's been a rough day. -Ian
