Abstract

An integrated circuit device contains two oscillators to generate a first clock signal and a second clock signal. Along with comparing the frequencies of the first clock signal and the second clock signal, the integrated circuit device is configured to monitor whether or not each frequency is within the frequency tolerance range. The integrated circuit device selects an output clock signal from either of the first clock signal or the second clock signal according to results from comparing the frequencies of the first clock signal and the second clock signal and whether or not each of the first clock signal and the second clock signal are within the frequency tolerance range.
