ABSTRACT:
A method and digital circuit for indicating whether the frequencies of two clocks are within a predetermined range of each other, wherein a first pattern of alternating binary one's and zero's is created using the active edge of the first clock; first and second sampled patterns are generated by sampling the first pattern with respective first and second edges of the second clock; and a first acceptance signal is asserted if either the first or second sampled pattern has alternating binary one's and zero's. A second acceptance signal is asserted as above but interchanging the two clock signals. A near-frequency signal is generated when both acceptance signals are asserted. A clock error signal is the inversion of the near-frequency signal.
