Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first transistor having a first dopant type and a second transistor having a second dopant type opposite to the first dopant type. The first transistor includes a first terminal configured to receive a current, a second terminal connected to a node, and a first gate, and the second transistor includes a first terminal connected to a device under test (DUT), a second terminal connected to the node, and a second gate. Each one of the first gate, the node, or the second gate is capable of receiving a first voltage from a first voltage source simultaneously with another one of the first gate, the node, or the second gate receiving a second voltage from a second voltage source, the first voltage being different from the second voltage.
