Abstract

A level detector has an input circuit adapted to accept signals of multiple signal levels for detecting a specific level. The signal levels include a first signal level and a larger second signal level. Electronic components of the input circuit have reliability levels less than the second signal level. A latch circuit is coupled to the input circuit for latching a signal consistent with a detected level of an accepted signal.
