Abstract: In one embodiment, a (pre)driver circuit includes first and a second output terminal for driving an electronic switch that includes a control terminal and a current path through the switch. The arrangement can operate in one or more first driving configurations (e.g., for PMOS), with the first and second output terminals are coupled to the current path and the control electrode of the electronic switch, respectively, and one or more second driving configurations (e.g., for NMOS, both HS and LS), wherein the first and second output terminals of the driver circuit are coupled to the control electrode and the current path of the electronic switch, respectively.

Abstract: A system for testing is provided. The system includes an electronic circuit and an automatic testing equipment (ATE). The electronic circuit includes a voltage monitor including a resistive divider receiving at its voltage input an input voltage and coupled at its output to an input of a comparator. A reference input of the comparator is coupled to a generator supplying a reference voltage setting one or more thresholds of the comparator. The electronic circuit includes a Built In Self Test Module coupled to the ATE and to the inputs and output of the comparator. The BIST module is being configured upon receiving respective commands from the ATE to test a reaction time of the comparator and an offset of the comparator. The ATE performs a respective test of the ratio of the resistor divider by a first voltage measurement and a test of the reference voltage provided by the generator.
