Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to circuit. The circuit may include a first input stage having first devices and a first path for slow slew input detection. The circuit may include a second input stage having second devices and a second path for fast slew input detection. The circuit may include a separation stage that couples the second input stage to the first input stage during a first mode of operation so as to reduce power consumption of the circuit during slow slew input detection.
