Reed-switch-based converters are widely used in digital discrete control systems, but unstable switching conditions may reduce event-recognition reliability within digital signal-processing chains. This paper presents a control-oriented modeling and simulation-based assessment of a reed-switch-based converter with temporal digital state validation for more reliable output-state formation. The proposed approach integrates the electromechanical switching element with signal conditioning, digital state validation, and output-state generation for more reliable event interpretation. A discrete-state model with four operating states was developed to distinguish stable switching events from transient and unstable signal changes. The validation logic was examined using event-based logical simulation over 100 repeated switching cycles with a 10 ms validation interval. Under the adopted scenario-based simulation conditions, temporal validation reduced unstable transitions from 14 to 3 per 100 cycles and improved stable event recognition from 86% to 97%, while introducing a fixed 10 ms processing delay. These findings provide preliminary evidence that digital state validation may improve output-state stability and false-trigger resistance in reed-switch-based discrete control applications; however, experimental and metrological verification remains future work.
