Abstract
A squelch detector, including: an input configured to receive an input signal; a peak detector connected to the input configured to detect a maximum value of the input signal wherein the peak detector includes a refresh input configured to receive a refresh signal to refresh the output of the peak detector, a valley detector connected to the input configured to detect a minimum value of the input signal wherein the valley detector includes a refresh input configured to receive the refresh signal to refresh the output of the valley detector, and a comparator including a first signal input connected to an output of the peak detector, a second input connected to an output of the valley detector, and a first reference input, wherein the comparator is configured to compare a difference between an output of the peak detector and an output of the valley detector and a reference value received at the first reference input and configured to produce an output based upon the comparison.
