PROGRAMMABLE FAULT VIOLATION FILTER
Abstract
A fault event monitor and filter having a digital comparator receiving a digital input value, wherein the digital compara- tor generates a plurality of outputs based on programmable threshold input values, a first counter coupled to a first output of the plurality of outputs of the digital comparator, a second counter coupled to a second output of the plurality of outputs of the digital comparator, and an output controller with a first input coupled to an output of the first counter and with a second input coupled to an output of the second counter, wherein the output controller to generate a fault event signal based at least partially on signals received from the first and second counters. 9 Claims, 5 Drawing Sheets
