Abstract
A method includes identifying a signal peak from an input signal. The signal peak may be detected with peak detection circuitry. A serial division operation may be performed on the identified signal peak value with serial division circuitry to obtain a scaling factor. The peak detection circuitry may identify an additional signal peak from the input signal concurrently with the serial division operation. The serial division operation may be halted if the additional identified signal peak is greater than the previous identified signal peak. Another serial division operation may be performed based on the additional identified signal peak.
