Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip includes a memory having multiple storage cells. The storage cells are to receive a supply voltage. The semiconductor chip includes supply voltage retention circuitry. The supply voltage retention circuitry is to determine a level of the supply voltage at which the storage cells are able to retain their respective data. The supply voltage retention circuitry is to receive the supply voltage during a stress mode of the supply voltage retention circuitry. The supply voltage retention circuitry is to more weakly retain its stored information than the storage cells during a measurement mode at which the level is determined.
