Abstract
This teaches that logic circuits such as Cascode circuits can be D.C. tested for normally untestable defects, such as emitter shorts or collector opens, by applying to the output of the circuit, or portion of the circuit, under test an additional voltage though an impedance. The specific embodiment teaches a resistor and diode in series as the impedence.
