Abstract
Flip-flops are disposed corresponding to input circuits or output circuits of an integrated logic circuit so as to be cascaded to configure a shift register for a test and to enable a parallel transfer of data between each flip-flop and a corresponding input or output circuit. As a result, without connecting the probe to all terminals of the LSI, test signals can be supplied from some terminals via all input circuits to an internal circuit so as to conduct a diagnosis.
