Abstract
A system includes a plurality of delay elements configured to receive an input clock signal. The system further includes an edge transition detector coupled to the plurality of delay elements. The plurality of delay elements is configured to detect the input clock signal transitioning from one value to another value. The system also includes a circuitry configured to determine a number of delay elements of the plurality of delay elements that the input clock signal propagates through prior to the input clock signal transitioning. The system also includes a logic or controller configured to determine whether a droop event has occurred based on the number of delay elements.
