    Abstract: In certain aspects of the disclosure, a frequency monitor includes a counter configured to receive a monitored clock signal, to count a number of periods of the monitored clock signal over a predetermined time duration, and to output a count value corresponding to the number of periods of the monitored clock signal. The frequency monitor also includes a comparator configured to receive the count value from the counter, to receive an expected count value, to compare the count value from the counter with the expected count value, and to output a pass status signal or a fail status signal based on the comparison.

    Abstract: An apparatus including a serial clock routing pipeline including a first set of clock inputs and a clock output; a first set of clock generators including a first set of clock outputs coupled to the first set of clock inputs of the serial clock routing pipeline, respectively; and a first clock monitoring unit including a first clock input coupled to the clock output of the serial clock routing pipeline, and a first status output to provide information concerning one or more of the first set of clock generators. The apparatus may further include a set of phase locked loops (PLLs) coupled to the set of clock generators, respectively; the set of PLLs also coupled to the clock monitoring unit.
