Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. An automotive device comprising:
an automotive processor configured to output a target address, data, an external clock signal, a chip enable signal, and at least one external enable signal; and
a processor embedded memory configured to operate responsive to the external clock signal and the chip enable signal, generate an internal enable signal based on the at least one external enable signal, and perform a data access operation based on the target address,
wherein the processor embedded memory is configured to generate and output a monitoring signal comprising a real-time operating status responsive to the chip enable signal and the at least one external enable signal, and
wherein the processor embedded memory comprises a plurality of flip-flop circuits that are electrically connected in a daisy chain configuration, each of the flip-flop circuits is configured to receive an internal clock signal or the internal enable signal, an initial flip-flop circuit of the daisy chain configuration is configured to output a first logic signal to a next flip-flop circuit of the daisy chain configuration in accordance with the internal clock signal, and a final flip-flop circuit of the daisy chain configuration is configured to output an output of a previous flip-flop circuit of the daisy chain configuration as the monitoring signal in accordance with the internal enable signal.
