Abstract

PURPOSE:To test many signals with a small number of terminals by storing the output of a timing generating circuit in a shift register temporarily and reading it in series. CONSTITUTION:When a test is not taken, a data processing circuit 3 is controlled with signals (a)-(d) from a timing generating circuit 2 to process data inputted from a data input terminal 8 and the result is outputted to an output terminal 5. When the test is taken, the signals (a)-(d) from the circuit 2 are stored in the shift register 6 and outputted successively with a shift clock from a clock input 7. The output of the register 6 is supplied to a switching circuit 4 and the input from the register 6 is selected in the test state and outputted to a terminal 5. Thus, the four signals are tested with one output terminal and this is applied similarly even when the number of signals increases.
