Abstract

See full text

A low latency digital clock fault detector has an edge detector including a delay line generating pulses on edges o an incoming clock signal of a width determined by the length of said delay line. A watchdog timer with flip-flops in a pipeline configuration has a first input held at a static logic level, a second input receiving a reference clock, and a third reset input. The watchdog is being responsive to the pulses to maintain a stable output in the presence of said pulses and generate a fault indication in the absence of the pulses.
