    Abstract: A monitor circuit for monitoring a clock signal is described. In accordance with one example of the disclosure, the monitor circuit includes a pulse generator and a comparator circuit. The pulse generator is configured to generate a sequence of pulses synchronous to the clock signal, wherein each pulse has an edge with a monotonously rising or falling signal level. The comparator circuit receives the sequence of pulses and is configured to detect, for each clock cycle of the clock signal, whether or not the signal level of the sequence of pulses is outside a desired range at a specific time instant within the clock cycle of the clock signal.

    Abstract: A detector for detecting a locked state and an out-of-lock state of a phase locked loop includes an out-of-lock detector circuit that receives a reference signal and an input signal representing a PLL oscillator signal. The out-of-lock detector detects an out-of-lock state of the PLL and generates an out-of-lock signal indicating whether an out-of-lock state is detected. The detector further includes a lock detector circuit that receives the reference signal and the input signal, detects a locked state of the PLL, and generates a lock signal indicating whether a locked state is detected. A logic circuit receives both the out-of-lock signal and the lock signal and combines both signals to obtain an output signal indicative of whether the PLL is in a locked state or an out-of-lock state.
