摘要:
An electronic device includes a test voltage generation circuit to generate a test voltage as a function of a regulator voltage, and a switching circuit to receive the test voltage and an image pixel output signal, and to pass the test voltage as output when in a test mode. A comparison circuit receives the output from the switching circuit and an analog to digital conversion signal, and asserts a counter reset signal when the output from the switching circuit and the analog to digital conversion signal are equal in voltage. A counter begins counting at a beginning of each test cycle within the test mode, stops counting upon assertion of the counter rest signal, and outputs its count upon stopping counting. The count is proportional to the test voltage when in the test mode.
