ABSTRACT:
Methods are described for providing an adaptive trip point detector circuit that receives an input signal at an input signal node and generates an output signal at an output signal node, the output signal changing from a first value to a second value when the input signal exceeds a trip point reference value. In particular, the trip point reference value is adjusted to compensate for variations in process or temperature.
