Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing a signal is presented. An accumulator receives an input signal and generates an accumulated value. A hysteresis controller sets an adjustable upper and lower limit. The upper and lower limits are compared with the accumulated value in a comparator. The comparator outputs a result, which is fed back into the hysteresis controller through a feedback loop. Once the input signal stays within the upper and lower limits, a test signal is considered within specification. When the input signal is outside of the boundary limits, a corrupt test signal is detected.
