1. A device for processing a pilot control signal, the device comprising:
a voltage doubler; and
a comparator,
the pilot control signal having at least two modes: a continuous mode in which the pilot control signal comprises a continuous signal or an alternating mode in which the pilot control signal comprises an alternating PWM signal, and
the comparator outputs a binary detection signal based on an input of the pilot control signal to the voltage doubler, a state of the binary detection signal being an indication of the mode of the pilot control signal.
