Abstract
An integrated circuit is presented. The integrated circuit includes a selection circuit that selects a reference voltage and an output voltage associated with a number of adjustable voltage regulators connected to the selection circuit. The integrated circuit also has an analog to digital converter, which converts the selected output voltage and the reference voltage to a digital representation. An analog state machine of the integrated circuit receives the digital representation from the analog to digital converter and compares the selected output voltage with the reference voltage.
