Abstract
A test circuit includes a plurality of TAP controllers conforming to a standard specification defined in IEEE 1149 and includes a master TAP controller which receives a control code and a test control signal and performs a test on a circuit to be tested and which outputs a shift mode signal, a first slave TAP controller which receives the control code and the test control signal and performs a test on a circuit to be tested, and a first TAP pin control circuit provided to correspond to the first slave TAP controller and which switches between inputting the control code to the first slave TAP controller from the outside and inputting the control code through the master TAP controller, on the basis of the shift mode signal.
