Abstract:
A frequency sensing apparatus is provided to maintain safety of a hardware device by removing dangerous elements from the hardware device through sensing of changes in the frequency of a clock signal. A frequency sensing apparatus includes an integrator(11) and a comparator(12). The integrator receives clock signals and integrates the received clock signals. The comparator compares an output of the integrator with a predetermined threshold voltage. An output of the comparator indicates whether the clock signal is within a normal frequency range or not. The predetermined threshold voltage is set as a predetermined voltage equal to and more than an output voltage of the integrator corresponding to a lower limit frequency of the normal frequency range of the clock signal.
