Abstract

A system includes a sensing system, a first chopped circuit, a second chopped circuit, and a multiplexer. The sensing system is configured to provide input signals. The first chopped circuit is configured to switch in response to the input signals crossing a first limit and to provide a first output signal that is valid during some chopping phases. The second chopped circuit is configured to switch in response to the input signals crossing a second limit and to provide a second output signal that is valid during other chopping phases. The multiplexer is configured to switch between the first output signal and the second output signal to provide a valid output signal during all chopping phases.
