A method is provided for testing switch signals of an inverter of an electric machine of a drive system of a motor vehicle. The electric machine is controlled via a pulse-width modulation generated by a control unit using a target duty cycle and a triangular-waveform voltage sequence. An actual duty cycle of a current pulse-width modulation is continuously ascertained from the switch signals and compared with the target duty cycle of the control unit.

Methods and apparatus are described for detecting anomalies in a clock signal. Example methods include sensing a clock signal that exhibits alternating phases during normal operation; responsive to sensing the start of a first phase, generating a pulse; and if the pulse terminates before sensing the end of the first phase, asserting a clock stopped detection signal. Example clock anomaly detection apparatus includes a clock signal input for coupling to a clock signal that, during normal operation, oscillates between first and second clock states. An anomaly detection output is asserted if the clock signal remains in the first clock state longer than a first phase expected duration or remains in the second clock state longer than a second phase expected duration.

A digital sensing apparatus includes a sensing unit capable of providing a sensing response associated with an environmental parameter, and a digital readout module including a reading unit for generating a pulse signal having a pulse width associated with the sensing response, and a converting unit. The converting unit includes a clock signal generator for generating a variable-frequency clock signal, and a counter operable to count a width value of the pulse width of the pulse signal using the clock signal, so as to generate a digital sensing code. The frequency of the clock signal from the clock signal generator is adjustable to adjust resolution of the width value of the pulse width of the pulse signal.

Apparatus and method for determining variation in a predetermined physical property of a circuit. The apparatus includes monitored circuitry for generating output pulses, and configured such that each output pulse has a pulse width which is indicative of the current value of the predetermined physical property. Circuitry is then configured to receive both the output pulses generated by the monitored circuitry and an oscillating timing reference signal. With reference to the oscillating timing reference signal, the counter circuitry produces for each output pulse an associated count value indicative of the pulse width of that output pulse. Circuitry then compares the associated count values for at least two output pulses, in order to produce a comparison result used to determine the variation in the predetermined physical property. This provides a flexible mechanism for monitoring variations in a physical property on the fly during use of a data processing circuit.

A time period of an event is determined by charging a known value capacitor from a constant current source during the event. The resultant voltage on the capacitor is proportional to the event time period and may be calculated from the resultant voltage and known capacitance value. Capacitance is measured by charging a capacitor from a constant current source during a known time period. The resultant voltage on the capacitor is proportional to the capacitance thereof and may be calculated from the resultant voltage and known time period. A long time period event may be measured by charging a first capacitor at the start of the event and a second capacitor at the end of the event, while counting clock times therebetween. Delay of an event is done by charging voltages on first and second capacitors at beginning and end of event, while comparing voltages thereon with a reference voltage.

A timing verification apparatus calculates a pulse width variation coefficient based on a pulse width of an input clock signal, a delay value of the clock signal, and an operation frequency. The apparatus then calculates the pulse width for a delayed clock signal provided to a clock input terminal of a flip flop (FF) using the pulse width variation coefficient. Further, the apparatus compares the calculated pulse width with a standard value. The timing verification apparatus calculates the pulse width of the delayed clock signal provided to the clock input terminal of the FF using the pulse width of the clock signal, and a rise delay and a fall delay of the path. The apparatus considers on-chip variations and accurately executes timing verification for signals.
