Imaging systems may be provided with image sensors having verification circuitry. Verification circuitry may be configured to continuously or occasionally verify that the image sensor is functioning properly. For example, verification circuitry may be configured to monitor levels of leakage current during standby mode. Verification circuitry may be coupled between a power supply and circuitry that is powered by that power supply. When the imaging system is in standby mode, circuitry associated with the imaging system such as pixel circuitry may draw a standby leakage current. Verification circuitry may be configured to measure the amount of standby leakage current drawn by associated imaging system circuitry. If the measured level of standby leakage current exceeds a maximum acceptable level of standby leakage current, a warning signal may be generated. Standby leakage current levels on multiple power supply lines may be monitored with associated verification circuitry.
