Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes: generating a gate voltage for a field-effect transistor in response to an input signal; generating a pulse signal with a pulse length that corresponds to the time that it takes until the gate voltage attains a specific level transition in response to a corresponding level transition in the input signal; and monitoring the pulse signal to detect whether the pulse length is outside a specific range.
