Abstract
A device for monitoring operating parameters of integrated circuits. A signal is generated at least at one output of a comparison element by comparing switching states of input signals at the at least two inputs of the comparison element, which signal indicates that the at least one operating parameter has fallen below or has exceeded a predefined threshold. The two input signals are generated by at least two operating parameter-dependent devices, and the switching behavior thereof is subject to a time delay depending on the current value of the at least one operating parameter. A predefined time delay has a value such that when the predefined threshold of the operating parameter is exceeded, one of the input signals changes its switching state at the times predefined for the comparison element by the clock signal on the basis of the time delay.
