1. A method, comprising:
- storing data corresponding to at least one input operating over-voltage condition occurring in an integrated circuit in an indelible memory;
determining a specified number of stored over-voltage conditions;
indicating the specified number of stored over-voltage conditions;
refraining from detecting the over-voltage input operating condition for a specified amount of time, and wherein the specified amount of time is associated with a power-on reset time.

7. An article comprising a machine-accessible medium having associated data, wherein the data, when accessed, results in a machine performing:
-
comparing an input operational voltage of an electronic circuit with a specified voltage; recording a value corresponding to an input operating over-voltage condition in an indelible memory; determining a specified number of recorded input operating over-voltage conditions;
displaying said specified number of over-voltage conditions; and
recording a clock speed at the time of occurrence of the over-voltage input operation condition. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
