Abstract:
A debug circuit for a multi-mode circuit driven by a clock signal, with an input for a clock signal, and a debug signal generator arranged to generate for each of a subset of the modes of the multi-mode circuit a corresponding debug signal based on a clock signal provided at the input. The frequency of debug signals is dependent on the frequency of a clock signal provided at the input, and each debug signal selects its respective mode for a length of time longer than that of each other mode of the multi-mode circuit, or each debug signal selects its respective mode for a length of time shorter than that of each other mode of the multi-mode circuit.
