Abstract
An apparatus comprising a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate an intermediate signal in response to an input clock signal operating at a frequency. The first circuit may modify the input clock signal according to a threshold frequency to generate a waveform for the intermediate signal. The waveform of the intermediate signal may have at least one of (i) pulses and (ii) a steady state. The second circuit may be configured to generate a control signal in response to the intermediate signal. The second circuit may modify the intermediate signal to generate the control signal. The control signal may have a first state when the intermediate signal has pulses. The control signal may have a second state when the intermediate signal has the steady state.
