Claim 9:
10. An integrated circuit comprising:
multiple peripheral devices, each peripheral device of the multiple peripheral devices including at least one alert sender module of multiple alert sender modules;
an alert handler comprising:
multiple alert receiver modules, each alert receiver module coupled to a peripheral device of the multiple peripheral devices;
multiple escalation timers, each respective escalation timer corresponding to a respective escalation severity of multiple escalation severities; and
a controller coupled to the multiple alert receiver modules and the multiple escalation timers, the controller configured to:
classify a triggered alert received from an alert receiver module of the multiple alert receiver modules into an alert classification of multiple alert classifications based on at least one of the alert receiver module or the triggered alert; and
initiate an escalation timer of the multiple escalation timers based on the alert classification; and

multiple signaling pathways, each respective signaling pathway coupled between a respective alert receiver module of the multiple alert receiver modules and a respective alert sender module of the multiple alert sender modules, each signaling pathway of the multiple signaling pathways comprising at least one differential path.
