(2) Background of the technology Integrated circuits (hereinafter abbreviated as ICs) that integrate a large number of semiconductor elements have become so complex that they constitute microprocessors, and it is difficult to transfer data from one IC to another. When necessary, strict regulations are placed on the characteristics of the pulse receiving ends of other ICs, and on the time between data and clocks. Although it is necessary to design an IC to satisfy both the sending and receiving sides, it is also necessary to check each manufactured IC using a test circuit to ensure product reliability.

(3) Conventional technology and problems There are two output signals CK-OUT and D-O at the output terminal of rc.
A test method for checking the relative time difference when the UT is outputting as shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. In Figure 2, CK-OUT and D-OUT
Suppose that it is necessary to output signals separated by a time difference indicated by "standard". The output terminal of the IC is connected to the measuring device, and after a certain period of time has elapsed from the start of the test cycle, the output comparison strobe 5TRB1 is generated as shown in A, and the CK-O
Compare with UT. (When J-OUT is 1", the next strobe signal 5TR is generated approximately 1 nanosecond earlier than position A.
Generate B1 and compare with CK-OUT. When it is moved to the position indicated by A and it detects that CK-OtlT becomes '0', it memorizes the time position of A and stores it (
. 1) For -0[IT, output comparison strobe signal 5TRB2 is similarly generated and compared at two positions, and "o
The time of machining is obtained by determining the position of occurrence of "A".Then, it is determined whether the time difference between A and A is larger than a predetermined standard value, and if it is, it is judged to be a good product, and if it is not, it is judged to be defective.This method Then, output comparison strobe signals 5TRB 1, 5TR
B) It was necessary to repeat the test while accelerating the occurrence time of 2, and the test was repeated dozens of times for each IC, so there was a drawback that it required a large amount of test time0 (4) OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide an IC test circuit that can easily and reliably check the relative time difference between two different outputs in a short time.

A conventional C tester is connected to each terminal of D-OUT and CK-OtlT, and a corresponding signal is given to each terminal. In the operation diagram of FIG. 3 shown in FIG. 4, when each signal is input from CJ-OLIT at timing (a) and from rl-OjlT at timing (C1), the time of (C1-(a) The value is selected to be equal to the "standard" time in FIG. The signal input to D-011T at the timing of tel is input to the data terminal of the FF at the timing of (d) via the gate 1-03. Adjust the delay amount of gates 04 to G6 so that the value is approximately equal to the limit value. At this time, the output terminal of FF becomes 1" and when the output signal Q-OUT becomes stable, the output comparison strobe 5TRB is activated at the timing of ff). When the tester sets , it is confirmed that the low OUT signal is "'1", indicating that the FF operation setting has been made properly.
