Abstract
An oscillating analog signal includes a succession of dampened oscillations. That oscillating analog signal is conditioned to generate an output signal including only oscillations of the oscillating analog signal which have an amplitude smaller than a first threshold. The output signal is then processed by a processing unit, where the first threshold is compatible with a maximum level of voltage tolerable by the processing unit.
