Abstract
In an embodiment a method includes: sensing a first signal indicative of magnetization of a winding in a dynamoelectric machine; applying the first signal to a window comparator having a comparator window between upper and lower thresholds and generating window exit signals indicative of the first signal exiting the comparator window of the window comparator; generating a slowed-down replica signal of the first signal; updating the comparator window of the window comparator as a function of the slowed-down replica signal; and issuing a wake-up signal towards a control device of the dynamoelectric machine as a result of one of the window exit signals indicating the first signal exiting the comparator window of the window comparator for a time duration in excess of a duration threshold.
