Zusammenfassung: | A testing circuit (100) in an integrated circuit (102) indirectly measures a voltage at a node of other circuitry (104) in the integrated circuit. The testing circuit includes a transistor (120) having a control electrode (121), a first conducting electrode (122) coupled to a first pad (150), a second conducting electrode (123) coupled to a terminal of a power supply, and one or more switches (131 and 133) for selectively coupling the control electrode to one of the node and a second pad (140). A method includes determining a relationship between drain current and gate voltage of the transistor when the control electrode is coupled to the second pad. A voltage at the node is determined by relating the current through the first conducting electrode of the transistor when control electrode is coupled to the node. |
