Abstract
A clock generator includes a diagnostic circuit that includes first and second muxes, first and second comparators, a logic gate, and a counter. The first mux receives first and second voltage signals and outputs a first intermediate signal based on a control signal. The second mux receives third and fourth voltage signals and outputs a second intermediate signal based on the control signal. The first and second comparators compare the intermediate signals with a first signal that is indicative of a DC value of the clock signal for generating first and second comparison signals. The logic gate receives the first and second intermediate signals and generates a control signal. The counter receives the clock signal and the control signal and generates a clock ready signal that is indicative of stability and quality of the clock signal.
