Abstract:
A built-in test system includes a control circuit, a transient voltage suppressor circuit, and a test switch. The control circuit is configured to receive a signal, and the transient voltage suppressor circuit includes first and second transient voltage suppressors connected in series between the signal and ground. The test switch is connected to selectively conduct current between the signal and a node between the first and second transient voltage suppressors. The control circuit is configured to control the test switch to test the first and second transient voltage suppressors.
