    Abstract: An analog fault detection circuit is disclosed. The analog fault detection circuit comprises an input terminal, an input circuit path coupled to the input terminal at a first end and a first sampling switch coupled to the second end of the input circuit path. The first sampling switch is configured to sample an input path voltage at the second end of the input circuit path to provide a first analog to digital converter (ADC) input voltage. The analog fault detection circuit further comprises a first ADC conversion circuit configured to convert the first ADC input voltage to a first digital ADC output; and a first broken wire detection circuit coupled between the first sampling switch and the first ADC conversion circuit, and configured to adaptively pulldown or pullup the first ADC input voltage, in order to detect a fault associated with a first analog circuit path.

    Abstract: According to various embodiments, an electronic device is described, comprising a device input for connecting an analog signal source, an analog-to-digital converter having an analog-to-digital converter input connected to the device input, an alternating current source configured to supply an alternating current to the analog-to-digital-converter input and a detection circuit configured to store a reference for an amplitude of a voltage signal at the analog-to-digital-converter input caused by the alternating current, receive an output of the analog-to-digital converter, determine the amplitude of the voltage signal at the analog-to-digital-converter input caused by the alternating current by filtering the output of the analog-to-digital converter and output an error signal if the reference for the amplitude differs from the determined amplitude by more than a predetermined threshold.
