Abstract:
A circuit includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) having selectable first and second analog channel inputs; a window comparator that compares a digital value output by the ADC to first and second threshold values defining a window and that asserts a trigger signal in response to the digital value being outside the window; a programmable clock circuit that provides a clock signal to the ADC; a controller that generates, in response to assertion of the trigger signal, a sample rate control signal to cause the clock circuit to increase the frequency of the clock signal and toggle selection between the first and second analog channel inputs; and comparison circuitry that compares a first digital output from the ADC to a second digital output from the ADC.
