Patent attributes
An integrated circuit comprising:a) at least one integrated voltage generator for generating a low voltage for an associated integrated load;b) an integrated voltage generator test logic connected to the voltage generator which in a test operating mode which is the operating state of that integrated voltage generator between an active operating state and a standby operating state depending on an external control signal;c) an internal load switch for switching said generated load voltage to that integrated load said internal load switch being controllable by means of an internal control signal;d) wherein said voltage generator test logic in said test operating mode switches the operating state of said integrated voltage generator independently of the associated internal control switching signal for setting a temporal voltage profile of said load voltage applied to that load.
