Abstract

An analog signal having an input level is provided. The analog signal is converted into a digitized representation of the analog signal in an analog to digital converter (105) that uses an operating range. The digitized representation of the analog signal is processed (107) to determine the input level for the analog signal. The input level for the analog signal is compared (109) with a reference signal to provide a comparison signal. The comparison signal is manipulated (111) to adjust the operating range.
