1. A pulse width modulation generator for a processor comprising: fault priority circuitry having a plurality of fault inputs operable to receive fault input signals and a fault output operable to output a fault output signal, the fault priority circuitry operable to receive fault input signals on a plurality of fault inputs concurrently, and output a fault output signal corresponding to a fault input having a highest priority among the fault inputs that are receiving fault input signals; and pulse width modulation circuitry having at least one pulse width modulation output operable to output at least one pulse width modulated signal and a fault input operable to receive the fault output signal from the fault priority circuitry, the pulse width modulation circuitry operable to drive the pulse width modulation output to a defined state associated with the selected fault input.
