Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a memory die including non-volatile memory cells coupled to a signal line, a switching circuit including a control terminal coupled to a first conductor, the switching circuit configured to selectively couple the signal line to a power supply based on a signal level on the first conductor, a second conductor capacitively coupled to the first conductor, and a control circuit coupled to the switching circuit. The control circuit is configured to detect a defect in the first conductor by coupling the second conductor to a first voltage source, coupling the signal line to a second voltage source, and detecting a drop in a voltage of the second voltage source.
