Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate on which an electronic circuit is provided. One or more pads may be present which can connect the electronic circuit to an external device outside the substrate. A current meter is electrically in contact with at least a part of the substrate and/or the pad. The meter can measure a parameter forming a measure for an amount of a current flowing between the substrate and at least one of the at least one pad. A control unit is connected to the current meter and the electronic circuit, for controlling the electronic circuit based on the measured parameter.
