The invention relates to a detector circuit (100) for detecting short-lasting voltage pulses (spikes) in a power supply voltage (VDD). An integrator (INT) forms the average value (VDD_AV) of the power supply voltage (VDD) and a corresponding energy is stored in a first memory (MEM1). A comparator (COMP) compares the power supply voltage (VDD) with a predetermined voltage interval ([Vref1, Vref2]) and closes a switch (S) when the power supply voltage is outside this interval. The energy from the first memory (MEM1) then flows into a second memory (MEM2) via the switch (S) and a delay circuit (DELAY). When the energy in the second memory (MEM2) exceeds a threshold value, an output stage (OUT) is thereby activated, whose output supplies a signal (SPIKE_DET) indicating a voltage spike.
