Abstract
A test circuit for testing a semiconductor device including semiconductor chips, includes: a test input terminal configured to receive data for testing the semiconductor device; signal paths provided between one semiconductor chip in the semiconductor chips and another semiconductor chip in the semiconductor chips, data supplied to the test input terminal being transmitted through the signal paths; a select signal generator, provided in the one semiconductor chip and coupled to the another semiconductor chip via the signal paths, configured to generate, when receiving data indicating expected values via one or more signal paths in the signal paths, a select signal indicating the one or more signal paths; and a path selector, provided in the at least one semiconductor chip and coupled to the signal paths, configured to select, based on the select signal, signal paths to be used at the time of testing the semiconductor device.
