Abstract

An error signal handling unit includes an error handler configured to receive an error signal indicating an error condition. The error handler is further configured to receive a recovery signal indicating a mitigation of the error condition or indicating that a mitigation of the error condition is possible. Furthermore, the error handler is further configured to output an error condition signal based on the error signal in response to a reception of the error signal if within a given delay time from the reception of the error signal, the error handler does not receive the recovery signal, and otherwise omit outputting the error condition signal.
