Abstract

A system and method of generating a test clock signal for scan testing of a main circuit in a semiconductor device includes receiving an external clock signal and a control signal and generating a gated clock signal by gating an internal clock signal based on the control signal. The internal clock signal has a frequency higher than a frequency of the external clock signal. One of the external clock signal and the gated clock signal is selectively output based on the control signal.
