Abstract
Positive and negative glitch detectors detect glitches on a supply voltage node. The positive glitch detector has a capacitor and a resistor serially coupled between the supply voltage node and ground. An amplifier is coupled to a first node between the capacitor and resistor. A positive glitch results in the glitch on the first node (normally biased low) and generation of a clock pulse by the amplifier that causes a latch to assert its output to indicate the positive glitch. The negative glitch detector has a capacitor and resistor coupled in parallel between the supply voltage node and a second node. A negative glitch on the supply voltage node decreases the voltage on the second node (normally biased high) and an inverting amplifier coupled to the second node generates a clock pulse to cause a latch to assert its output to indicate the negative voltage glitch.
