A circuit includes a glitch measurement circuit and a glitch profile circuit. The glitch measurement circuit includes a first comparator to compare a glitch in a power supply voltage to a first threshold voltage, a first counter to generate a first count indicative of a time duration the first comparator indicates that the glitch trips the first threshold voltage, a second comparator to compare the glitch in the power supply voltage to a second threshold voltage different than the first threshold voltage, and a second counter to generate a second count indicative of a time duration the second comparator indicates that the glitch trips the second threshold voltage. The glitch profile circuitry utilizes the first count and the second count to generate a multi-voltage profile of the glitch, wherein the multi-voltage profile includes indications of the time durations indicated by the first count and the second count.
