Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) includes circuitry in a plurality of power domains for transmitting and/or receiving radar chirp frames and first and second monitoring systems for monitoring supply voltages of a first and a second subset of the plurality of power domains, respectively. The first subset is monitored outside of a time window during which a chirp frame is transmitted and/or received utilizing circuitry of the IC, and the second subset is monitored during the time window. The first monitoring system includes an output for an error signal indicating a supply voltage in the first subset does not comply with a first voltage parameter. The second monitoring system includes a unique monitoring circuit for each power domain in the second subset, and each unique monitoring circuit includes an output for an error signal indicating a supply voltage in the second subset does not comply with a second voltage parameter.
