1. A memory test method, comprising:
- providing at least one first switch of at least one test element coupled to a first memory section between a first node within a tested section and an intermediate node,coupling a test switch of the test element between the intermediate node and a forced voltage node, andcoupling a second switch of the test element between the intermediate node and a second node;
whereinthe forced voltage node receives a forced voltage substantially the same as a voltage applied to the second node, and the second node is coupled to at least a second memory section.

Abstract
A memory test method is disclosed that can include providing at least one first switch of at least one test element coupled to a first memory section between a first node within a tested section and an intermediate node, coupling a test switch of the test element between the intermediate node and a forced voltage node, and coupling a second switch of the test element between the intermediate node and a second node; wherein the forced voltage node receives a forced voltage substantially the same as a voltage applied to the second node, and the second node is coupled to at least a second memory section.
