Abstract:
A circuit includes a sensor configured to receive an input signal and to provide a sensor output signal in response to the received input signal. A plurality of mirror circuits are configured to receive the sensor output signal from the sensor and to generate mirror circuit output signals. The plurality of mirror circuits includes a first mirror circuit and at least a second mirror circuit. The first mirror circuit increases its respective mirror circuit output signal until its saturation value is reached. The second mirror circuit increases its respective mirror output signal if the sensor output signal is above a threshold value and until its saturation value is reached.

Claim (Index 17):
A circuit, comprising:\n a sensor configured to receive an input signal and to provide a sensor output signal in response to the received input signal; a mirror circuit configured to receive the sensor output signal from the sensor and to generate a mirror circuit output signal, the mirror circuit increases a magnitude of the mirror circuit output signal based on increases of the sensor output signal and before the mirror circuit reaches a saturation value; at least one other mirror circuit configured to receive the sensor output signal from the sensor and to generate at least one other mirror circuit output signal, the at least one other mirror circuit output signal is generated in response to the sensor output signal and if the sensor output signal is above a threshold value, the mirror circuit output signal and the at least one other mirror circuit output signal are combined to generate a detection signal to indicate a signal strength of the sensor output signal; wherein each of the mirror circuit and the at least one other mirror circuit includes a pair of transistor switch devices coupled via a common gate connection, the pair of the transistor switch devices include a length parameter that defines a current capability of the transistor switch devices; wherein one of pair of transistor switch devices for the mirror circuit is configured with a length parameter that is greater than the length parameter of another pair of transistor switch devices for the at least one other mirror circuit.
