Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes performing an analog-to-digital conversion on a signal at an input pin of an integrated circuit using an analog-to-digital converter having a first input range, monitoring the signal at the input pin using a first comparator having a first threshold outside of the first input range, operating the integrated circuit in a first mode when the signal at the input pin is within the first input range, and operating the integrated circuit in a second mode different from the first mode when the signal at the input pin is outside of the first input range and crosses the first threshold.
