Abstract
An apparatus and method for detecting transient voltage at an electrical component of a circuit board is provided. The apparatus including a circuit including a comparator and a latch, wherein a first input of the comparator is electrically coupled to the electrical component, and the comparator receives a threshold voltage at a second input, where the comparator outputs either a high signal or a low signal in response to both the first input and the second input, and an output of the comparator is electrically coupled to an input of the latch such that the latch outputs a high signal in response to receiving a high signal from the comparator, and an indicator electrically coupled to an output of the latch, and where the apparatus is mounted non-permanently to the circuit board to provide a non-permanent electrical coupling between the comparator and the electrical component.
