Abstract

According to various embodiments, an electronic circuit includes a plurality of clock generators wherein each clock generator is configured to store a counter value, to receive a reference clock, to change the counter value in accordance with the reference clock and to generate at least one clock signal based on the counter value. The circuit also includes a comparator configured to receive, for each of at least two of the plurality of clock generators, the counter value and compare the received counter values and an error handling circuit configured to initiate an error handling based on the result of the comparison.
