Abstract: A float detector includes a latch and a float detection circuit. The latch includes a latch output and an input/output (I/O) terminal. The I/O terminal is coupled to an input terminal. The float detection circuit includes a detection input, a drive output, and a float detection circuit. The detection input is coupled to the latch output. The drive output is coupled to the I/O terminal. The float detector is configured to provide a drive signal at the drive output, and determine that the input terminal is floating based on a latch output signal received at the detection input responsive to the drive signal.
