Abstract
A method for determining the change in frequency of a clock signal (168). The method includes the step of counting the number of clock signal cycles (168) that occur over at least two time windows (162, 164). The number of clock signal cycles counted in the first time window (162) is compared to the number of clock signal cycles counted in the second time window (164).
