Microelectronic circuit with dynamically adjustable coverage for in-situ timing event monitors

A microelectronic circuit that is an adaptive microelectronic circuit at least partly configurable by selecting a value of an operating parameter, the microelectronic circuit comprising:

• a plurality of processing paths on which data inputs of register units are coupled to outputs of respective logic units for temporarily storing output values of said logic units;
• a plurality of timing event monitors, each of the timing event monitors configured to respond to a digital value at a data input of a respective monitored register unit changing later than an allowable time limit by generating a timing event observation signal, wherein said allowable time limit is defined by at least one triggering edge of at least one triggering signal coupled to the respective register unit, the plurality of timing event monitors forming a plurality of monitor groups, each of the monitor groups being coupled to a branch of a triggering signal tree for coupling a monitor-group-specific triggering signal to the timing event monitors of the monitor group independently of other monitor groups;
• and
• a control unit configured to selectively allow or disable propagation of the respective triggering signals into said branches of the triggering signal tree.
