Zusammenfassung:A device for monitoring a digital control unit with regard to functional safety is proposed. The device comprises an interface configured to receive a control signal of the digital control unit for a circuit component. The control signal represents a digital value. Furthermore, the device comprises a timer circuit configured to output an associated timer value in each case for successive points in time. The device furthermore comprises a hash value generator, which is configurable, in response to a change in the digital value, to recalculate a hash value on the basis of the change in the digital value and the timer value at the point in time of the change in the digital value.
