Abstract
A semiconductor device in which a semiconductor chip has a plurality of output terminals which are connected to a common node outside of the chip itself and are arranged into at least one group. A selection circuit disposed within the semiconductor selects one output terminal from among the output terminals in the group and allows data to be supplied only to the selected terminal. After testing, the output terminals are disconnected from one another to allow the chip to function properly.
