Abstract
A device may include a plurality of cells. Each cell may include a field-effect transistor and a switch configured to selectively connect a second contact of the respective field-effect transistor with a common test line of the device. A controller of the device is configured to control the switch to be in a closed position. At least one pin is provided which is configured to apply a stress voltage to a common power line connected to a first contact with the field-effect transistor and to the common test line.
