Provided is a current-mode semiconductor integrated circuit device that operates in a voltage mode during a test mode. The current-mode semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a first transmitting converter, a first receiving converter, a second transmitting converter, and a second receiving converter. During the test mode, one of a first signal path and a second signal path is selected according to the location of the chip.
