Abstract
A circuit arrangement and method for operating such is provided. The method includes receiving a voltage signal with a voltage level (IVL) by first and second comparators, comparing the IVL to a first voltage level (FVL), comparing the IVL to a second voltage level (SVL), incrementing a first counter assigned to the first comparator once the IVL is higher than the FVL, incrementing the first counter again after the IVL being lower and higher again than the FVL, incrementing a second counter assigned to the second comparator once the IVL is higher than the SVL, incrementing the second counter again after the IVL being lower and higher again than the SVL, and incrementing the first counter again once the second counter was incremented twice without the first counter being incremented in between, wherein the absolute value of the FVL is lower than the absolute value of the SVL.
