Abstract

A method and a device determine a time response of a digital circuit. The time response is determined as a time difference between a data delay of a data path of the digital circuit, and a clock delay of a clock signal, which causes storage of a data item on the data path, taking into account a check. The check is determined dependent on a data slew of a signal on the data path and a clock slew of the clock signal in such a way that a positive time difference ensures the correct saving of the data item.
