Abstract
In a timer module having at least two output channels, the at least two output channels are configurable in such a way that they generate redundant output signals, and the generation of the redundant output signals begins synchronously. In addition, the timer module has provides a comparison of the redundant output signals by an EXOR logic operation and stores a result of the EXOR logic operation in a way that allows the result to be retained for an erroneous comparison until it is reset by an access.
