Abstract
In an exemplary aspect of the invention, a clock signal amplifier circuit includes an amplifier circuit, a first switch part, and a second switch part. The amplifier circuit amplifies a clock signal. The first switch part controls ON/OFF of the amplifier circuit according to a select signal. The second switch part opens and closes complementarily to the first switch part according to the select signal. The amplifier circuit receives a test clock signal used in a test mode operation state through the second switch part. Further, the amplifier circuit outputs a signal generated by amplifying an input signal serving as the clock signal, or the test clock signal, according to the select signal.
