ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention are described in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit comprises circuit elements configured to be clocked via an oscillating signal, and a detector. The detector is configured to detect a state of the oscillating signal and provide a detection signal indicative of the state of the oscillating signal. The detector comprises a first delay line configured to provide a first delayed signal to logic that provides the detection signal.
