Abstract
A circuit has a supply line, a reference line and circuitry coupled between the supply line and the reference line. The circuitry outputs a regulated voltage and a measurement voltage. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) generates a digital signal indicative of variations of potential differences between the supply line and the reference line based on the regulated voltage and the measurement voltage. The generated digital signal may be used to control the circuit.
