Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor integrated circuit includes: a logic circuit including: a first scan chain and a second scan chain; a clock generator; and a test control circuit. The first scan chain includes: a first flip-flop having a first scan data input terminal and a first output terminal; and a first multiplexer. The first multiplexer is configured to electrically couple the first scan data input terminal to the first output terminal based on a first signal received from the test control circuit to form a first closed loop. The second scan chain includes a second flip-flop having a second scan data input terminal and a third output terminal that is not coupled to the second scan data input terminal.
