Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a plurality of latch circuits which are provided between adjacent circuit blocks. Each latch circuit functions to transfer output data from a preceding circuit block directly to a subsequent circuit block during a normal operation of the circuit device, to hold the output data until a scanning of associated scan register and supply them to the subsequent circuit block in a scan mode of a test operation and to hole the output data while outputting them in synchronism with an external clock in a test mode of the test operation.
