Abstract
The semiconductor device cyclically outputs given status information pieces according to a predetermined procedure from a test output terminal one by one on receipt of a test enable direction through a test enable terminal, and outputs the same status information pieces as those output at that time from the test output terminal without interruption on receipt of a test disable direction. Operating the test enable terminal, the semiconductor device cyclically outputs status information pieces without the need for initial setting and further, outputs only desired status information without interruption.
