Abstract:
A circuit (200) for protection against voltage or current spikes receives an initial clock signal (CI) and transmits at least one resultant clock signal (CN1, CN2, CP1, CP2) to a downstream circuit. This resultant clock signal is inactive if a random voltage or current spike appears upstream. This averts the possibility of disturbing the operation of the downstream circuit. Application to the protection of clock circuits for integrated circuits.
