A hysteretic comparison circuit includes a comparator which receives a first input voltage at a control electrode of a first transistor in a first current branch and a second input voltage at a control electrode of a second transistor in a second current branch, and alternately operates in first and second phases. The comparator provides a single output voltage. A latch is coupled to receive the single output voltage and latches a first indicator which indicates, during the first phase, an under voltage event when the first input voltage falls below a first threshold voltage, and latches a second indicator which indicates, during the second phase, an over voltage event when the first input voltage exceeds a second threshold voltage. A first bias current is provided to the comparator during the first phase, and a larger second bias current is provided during the second phase but not the first phase.
