Abstract
A method for monitoring a clock generator module of an electronic circuit which is configured to generate a plurality of clock signals for the electronic circuit. A monitoring module external to the circuit alternately causes the selection of one of the clock signals in the circuit as a selection signal; wherein based on the selection signal a PWM signal, whose period duration and holding time are predetermined, is generated and output; wherein the PWM signal is received from the electronic circuit by the monitoring module and measured using a monitoring clock signal to determine at least one measurement result, the at least one measurement result is compared with at least one comparison result or comparison result range, and a malfunction of the clock generator module is determined if the at least one measurement result does not match the at least one comparison result or comparison result range.
