Semiconductor device and apparatus including semiconductor device

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a substrate (1) on which an electronic circuit (40) is provided. One or more pads may be present which can connect the electronic circuit to an external device outside the substrate. A current meter (50) is electrically in contact with at least a part of the substrate and/or the pad. The meter can measure a parameter forming a measure for an amount of a current flowing between the substrate and at least one of the at least one pad. A control unit (60) is connected to the current meter (50) and the electronic circuit (40), for controlling the electronic circuit based on the measured parameter.
