Zusammenfassung:Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include converter circuitry that operates to provide a drive current. The integrated circuit may include process detector circuitry having multiple drive strength devices that are driven by the drive current from the converter circuitry. The multiple drive strength devices may provide multiple drive strength signals based on the drive current. The integrated circuit may include comparator circuitry having a comparator that receives the multiple drive strength signals from the multiple drive strength devices, detects a voltage difference between the multiple drive strength signals, and provides an output signal based on the detected voltage difference.
