    Abstract: A timing device that includes an OTP NVM, a first periodic signal generator operable to generate a periodic signal having a first frequency, a second periodic signal generator operable to generate a periodic signal having a frequency that is lower than the first frequency, and selection logic. In a first operating mode, the selection logic is configured to output the first periodic signal at an output terminal as long as a crystal clock feedback signal is received at the input terminal and output the second periodic signal when the crystal clock feedback signal is not received at the input terminal. In a second operating mode, the selection logic is configured to output the first periodic signal as long as a output enable signal is received at the input terminal and not provide any output at the output terminal when the output enable signal is not received at the input terminal.
