摘要:
In a scan path so configured that a series of tests using a scan path are performed by a scan shift of shifting the data of a scan path flipflop and a normal circuit test of testing a circuit for a normal operation by using the shifted data, and that at the time of the scan path testing, the scan path flipflop fetches data at a first timing and outputs the fetched data at a second timing, there is provided a scan path test control circuit which includes a control circuit so constructed to generate a logical value which never either sets or resets the scan path flipflop at the time of the scan shifting, and a logical value of validating a normal logic which sets or resets the scan path flipflop after the scan shifting. The test control circuit also generates, at the time of the normal test, a logic value which neither sets nor resets the scan path flipflop in synchronism with a timing signal between the first timing after the data is fetched and the second timing.
