Aspects of a method and system for wide range amplitude detection are provided. In this regard, many electronic systems may require amplitude detection of a variety of signals with widely varying amplitudes. Aspects of the invention may comprise suitable logic, circuitry, and/or code to perform amplitude detection and may be easily configured to accommodate a wide range of amplitudes. In this regard, the configuration of the amplitude detector may be performed via simple design changes and/or may be dynamically configured by suitable logic, circuitry, and/or code. Accordingly, multiplexing a single instance of the wide range amplitude detector and/or multiplexing multiple instances of the wide range amplitude detector may result in reduced design time, reduced circuit size, and/or reduced cost.
