Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
an oscillator circuit configured to provide an internal clock signal asynchronous a clock signal;
a BTI logic circuit, configured to generate a BTI pulse signal synchronized to the clock signal based on the internal clock signal, the BTI pulse signal including a plurality of pulses, wherein the BTI logic circuit further comprises:
a synchronizer circuit configured to provide a synchronized BTI signal based on the periodic BTI signal, wherein the synchronized BTI signal is synchronized to the clock signal and wherein the BTI logic circuit is configured to generate the BTI pulse signal based on the synchronized BTI signal; and
a clock gating circuit configured to allow at least a part or parts of the clock signal overlapping the plurality of pulses to pass through as a gated clock signal.
