Abstract:
An electronic device comprising a first and at least a second external pin; a first, a second and at least a third pad; a first bonding wire connecting said first pad to said first external pin; a second bonding wire connecting said second pad to said first external pin; a third bonding wire connecting said third pad to said second external pin; and a first and at least a second resistive component having respectively a first and a second electrical impedance, and having first terminals connected respectively to said first and said second pad and second terminals connected to a first node, said first node also being connected to said third pad to enable measurement of resistance between the first and at least the second external pin; and further comprising a fourth pad; a fourth bonding wire connecting said fourth pad to said second external pin; and a third and at least a fourth component having respectively a third and a fourth electrical impedance, and having first terminals connected respectively to said third and said fourth pad, and second terminals connected to said first node.
