Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods are provided for protecting a processing system from electromagnetic interference. An integrated circuit comprises a sensing arrangement configured to sense an interference signal and an interference detection module coupled to the sensing arrangement. The interference detection module is configured to detect when a power level associated with the interference signal is greater than a threshold value. In one embodiment, the interference detection module generates an interrupt for a processing system when the power level associated with the interference signal is greater than the threshold value.
