Abstract
A testing circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit has a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The first circuit is configured to transfer at least a portion of a first voltage across the first capacitor to the second capacitor. The second circuit has the first capacitor and the second capacitor. The second circuit is configured to transfer at least a portion of a second voltage across the second capacitor to the first capacitor.
