ABSTRACT:
A programmable frequency detector is provided for determining if the frequency of an input signal is above, below, or within a programmable tolerance of a programmable frequency. A counter circuit is provided that is enabled by a timing stage during a predetermined calculation period to count the input frequency; the counter output is then compared to a programmed frequency code input by a comparator stage. A latch circuit and the timing circuits then utilize the comparator output to determine if the input frequency was high, low, or within the pass tolerance band.
