Abstract
In one embodiment, a method receives an analog input voltage. The method also receives a threshold from a plurality of thresholds. A comparator performs a comparison of the input voltage with the received threshold and outputs an output value based on the comparison of the analog input voltage with the received threshold. The output value is for converting the analog input voltage to a digital value. The method determines if the threshold should be adjusted based on the comparison and adjusts the threshold when it is determined the threshold should be adjusted.
