A method and apparatus for monitoring a plurality of semiconductor devices
is disclosed. At least one array of 2.sup.n semiconductor circuits is
provided. A clock ring oscillator provides a clock signal. The clock
signal drives a frequency divider followed by an n-stage binary counter.
The outputs from the counter's stages drive an n-input decoder which
sequentially addresses each semiconductor circuit. An output signal from
each semiconductor circuit is measured and read out over a common bus,
where a distribution of the output signals is a measure of a distribution
of a parameter of interest.
