    摘要: A pulse detector detects if a clock pulse signal is in phase with a reference clock pulse signal in an efficient manner with very high accuracy. The pulse detector includes a first delay unit adapted to receive an input clock pulse signal and to delay the input clock pulse signal by a first pre-specified delay for output as output clock pulse signal, and a second delay unit adapted to delay the output clock pulse signal by a second pre-specified delay. A sampling unit is adapted to sample the input clock pulse signal and the output of the second delay unit at a sampling time defined by a reference clock pulse signal and to output the samples for phase delay indication.

    摘要: The invention relates to majority voting. A number of input signals are monitored individually by separate monitors, one monitor for each signal. Each monitor generates a control signal representing the status of the monitored signal. The generated control signals are sent to a level control unit. The level control unit control the input levels to a majority voter according to the control signals. Instead of signals that are faulty, the level control unit selects signals of specific logical levels to be forwarded to the majority logic. The logical levels of these so called replacement signals are selected such that the replacement signals do not interfere with the remaining correct signals. Furthermore, the majority voted output signal is monitored so as to selectively generate an alarm. The voting functionality is tested by stopping input signals according to a first procedure, thus generating an alarm. By stopping input signals according to a second procedure, an alarm is avoided.
