    Abstract: A system for testing a clock monitor includes a fault injection circuit, a control circuit, and a clock monitor circuit to evaluate a clock source signal from a clock source. The fault injection circuit is to modify or replace the clock source signal from the clock source to yield a modified clock signal, and send the modified clock signal to the clock monitor circuit. The clock monitor circuit is to receive an input clock signal, determine whether the input clock signal indicates a faulty clock source, and issue a clock corrective action if the input clock signal indicates a faulty clock source. The control circuit is to monitor for the clock corrective action, and determine, based on whether the clock corrective action is issued, whether the clock monitor circuit is operating correctly.

    Abstract: A method for expanding a data memory for a microprocessor architecture which uses a bank select accessing scheme for accessing data memory which is divided into a plurality of memory banks. A bank select register is configured to select a memory bank and the microprocessor architecture has an instruction set with a dedicated instruction for selecting a memory bank. An opcode of the dedicated bank select instruction provides for a maximum of n bits payload thereby providing for an address value which is configured to select a maximum of 2n memory banks. The method has the steps of: using an opcode of a test instruction that provides for m bits of payload for a new bank select instruction, wherein m>n; and using an opcode of the dedicated bank select instruction for a new test instruction.

    Abstract: A system may have a digital period divider generating an output signal that is proportional to an angle defined by a rotational input signal and an interval measurement unit determining an interval time of an interval defined by succeeding pulses of the input output signal. In an enhancement, the system may also have a missing pulse detector which is operable to compare a current interval with a parameter to determine whether a pulse is missing in the input signal.
