Abstract
Techniques for AC input signal detection, whereby a method for AC input signal detection may include: sampling an input signal at a sampling rate, where the input signal is based on an AC signal; comparing the input signal with a threshold signal, determining a first value in case the input signal is larger than the threshold signal; determining at least one second value in case the input signal is smaller than the threshold signal; increasing the sampling rate in case a predefined number of consecutive first values is determined; and decreasing the sampling rate in case the at least one second value is determined.
