ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for monitoring the current in an integrated circuit provided with a current conductor which is to supply current to a semiconductor structure at least temporarily and to supply current to other parts of the circuit. The current conductor is locally split into a first and a second parallel partial current conductor, with the semiconductor structure connected to the first partial current conductor. The first and second partial current conductors are connected to respective first and second connection contacts across which a voltage drop can be derived which is a measure of the value of the current flowing through the semiconductor structure.
