Abstract
A circuit for monitoring an entry into a test mode of a chip circuit has a fusible link which can be fired via a firing transistor. A flipflop, which permits access to the test mode, is set by a resulting voltage drop, with the aid of an edge detector. The number of times the test mode has been accessed can be detected from the number of fired fusible links.
