Abstract
The present invention is directed to a circuit device configured to monitor a sensor device. The sensor device is configured to measure a predetermined physical parameter and provide a sensor output signal corresponding to the predetermined physical parameter. The circuit device includes a sampling circuit configured to sample the sensor output signal to obtain a predetermined number (N) of sensor output signal samples. an analog multiplication circuit to generate one of a plurality of predetermined digital sequences. and an analog integrator circuit. configured to add the N multiplication products to generate an analog signal power estimation value which corresponds to a degree of correlation between the sensor output signal and the selected predetermined digital sequence.
