Abstract
An LSI having a logic circuit and a test circuit is provided with a first register which is connected between an LSI input/output pin and the logic circuit and has a first input terminal to be outputted from the first register in accordance with a system clock signal and a second input terminal, a second register which has a first input terminal inputted with an output of the first register and a second input terminal inputted with scan-in data and an output of which is connected to the second input terminal of the first register, a selector circuit which is connected to one of the first input terminal of the second register and the second terminal of the first register and selects one of a signal relating to scan-out data and an output signal of the other register so that the selected signal is inputted to the one input terminal, and a third register which receives an output of the second register and provides the received output as scan-out data in accordance with another clock signal. An output of the third register is successively provided to another LSI input/output pin. The selector circuit includes a logic gate circuit inputted with a signal indicative of an LSI test mode and the output signal of the other register.
