The electronic circuit includes a transistor having a gate terminal, a source terminal and a drain terminal. A resistor has a first terminal connected to the gate terminal and has a second terminal connected to an auxiliary pad. When the electronic circuit is operating in a test phase and is configured for receiving a test signal for performing the test of the transistor, the auxiliary pad is electrically floating. When the electronic circuit is operating in a normal phase and is configured for receiving a supply voltage, the auxiliary pad is electrically connected to a voltage value smaller than the sum of the voltage value of the source terminal with the threshold voltage value of the transistor.
