A circuit (100) comprises a built-in test circuit (150) which verifies the proper operation of input cells (130) when they receive signals at a first level (71) and at a second level (72). The test circuit (160) comprises a first and a second logic (110, 120) which receive power only when a test is performed. Thereby power consumption of the test circuit (160) is reduced. The first and the second logic (110, 120) are conveniently formed by a combination of parallel coupled transistors acting in an logical OR-function.
