1. A BIST (Built-In-Self-Test) electronic device, comprising:
an operation circuit for outputting an output signal to be tested or evaluated;
a demodulator having externally controllable gain, operative to receive said output signal from said operation circuit and output a demodulation signal representing a demodulated phase-modulated or frequency-modulated component of said output signal,
wherein the operations circuit further comprises an output section for externally outputting an output signal when the said electronic device is actually operated, and externally outputting said demodulation signal when said electronic device is tested; and,
the electronic device further comprises a package section for containing said operation circuit, said demodulator and said output section therein, wherein said electronic device outputs said output signal and said demodulation signal from said package section.
