Abstract
A circuit includes a discriminator to store a threshold. The circuit further includes a comparator including a first input to receive a count, a second input to receive the threshold, and an output to provide an output signal representing a result of the comparison between the count and the threshold. The circuit also includes a controller to automatically adjust the threshold when the count exceeds a first threshold or falls below a second threshold.
