Abstract

PURPOSE:To manage tests by a single run of test execution in such a test mode as to become identical in the case the pencil of test output signal lines of a plurality of circuits of an integrated circuit remains normal, and to reduce the output terminals of the pencil of test output signal lines. CONSTITUTION:A pencil of test input signal lines is input from test input signal line pencil terminals 1a, 2a, 3a,... a to circuits 1, 2, 3,...n. The setting therein is such that the identical test output signal line pencil 1b, 2b, 3b,...nb is obtained as long as the circuits 1, 2, 3,...n operate normally. The test output signal line pencils 1b, 2b, 3b,...nn are fed to a signal line pencil identical judging circuit 20, which judges whether all are idential, and the result is given to a test output signal line pencil terminal 22. At least one system of the test output signal line pencils of the circuits 1, 2, 3,...n is led out to an external terminal 21 to serve for checking what the line pencil contains.
