Abstract
There is provided an analog signal gauge that monitors an analog signal at a node and a non-volatile memory element to store an event that occurs at the node when a certain criteria, such as exceeding a maximum safe threshold, is satisfied. This way, the analog signal gauge can help to provide an accurate picture of the operating characteristics in the analog circuit which it is monitoring, including indications of faults that occur in the analog system.
