Zusammenfassung:There is described a method of verifying a function of a power supply monitor in a digital control system, wherein the power supply monitor is adapted to monitor whether or not a power supply voltage is between a lower threshold value and an upper threshold value. The method comprises: setting the power supply voltage to a first value, the first value being below the lower threshold value, checking, as a first check, that the power supply monitor indicates that the power supply voltage is below the lower threshold value, setting the power supply voltage to a second value, the second value being above the lower threshold value and below the upper threshold value, checking, as a second check, that the power supply monitor indicates that the power supply voltage is above the lower threshold value, and verifying the function of the power supply monitor if both the first check and the second check are successful. There is also described a corresponding device and computer program.
