Abstract
Systems and methods described herein may increase voltages sensed during testing of a device-under-test, which may increase an ease of sensing by a comparator, where a relatively less sensitive comparator may be used to detect the increased voltage sensed. Indeed, readout circuitry may include two or more diodes coupled in series to a resistor, which may help increase the voltages sensed via the readout circuitry.
