Abstract
An integrated circuit includes an operational circuit and a test circuit for measuring a leakage current associated with all or part of the operational circuit. The leakage current measurement circuit may include a mirror circuit configured to mirror leakage current to a current-to-voltage converter and an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the analog voltage representative of the leakage current developed by the current-to-voltage converter to a digital value.
