Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a method includes receiving a testing activation signal at a controller coupled to a semiconductor device. The method further includes biasing a well of at least one transistor of the semiconductor device in response to the received testing activation signal. The bias is provided by a biasing circuit that is responsive to the controller. While the well is biased, a test of the semiconductor device is performed to generate testing data.
