A semiconductor integrated circuit includes cascaded asynchronous sequential logic circuits. Scanning shift registers are provided between the asynchronous sequential circuits to permit test data to be applied to the inputs of the circuits and to latch and shift out output data provided by the circuits in response to the test data. Additional gating circuitry is provided between the scanning shift registers and the inputs of the asynchronous sequential circuits to prevent new data latched into the scanning shift register from causing the asynchronous sequential circuit connected to the scanning shift register output from changing state during testing. This same additional circuitry may be used to provide pulses of controlled width and/or timing to asynchronous sequential circuit inputs in response to externally generated gating control signals.

An inverter circuit (I.sub.3) is disclosed which includes a P-channel MOSFET (3) and a N-channel MOSFET (4) connected in series between a power supply (V.sub.DD) and a ground (GND). The inverter circuit further includes a P-channel MOSFET (5) and a N-channel MOSFET (6) connected in parallel between the gates of the FETs (3) and (4). The FETs (3) and (4) have their gates connected to receive testing mode signals (T.sub.E). In a testing mode operation, the FET (6) is rendered conductive to allow an input signal to be applied to the gate of the FET (4) through the FET (6). The FET (4), having an on-resistance lower than the FET (3), is driven into conduction in response to the output signal applied through the FET (6), thereby providing a slowly rising output signal. The slow rising output signal is free from undershoot or ringing.

A semiconductor logic integrated circuit device comprising a signal selection means and a storing means, which is capable of adjusting the logic levels of an output signal therefrom. With such a circuit device, the signal selection means and the storing means are controlled in normal operation mode so that a parallel input signal is allowed to be output as a parallel output signal from output terminals of the circuit device after subjecting the parallel input signal to logical signal processing. On the other hand, the signal selection means and the storing means are controlled in a testing opertion mode so that the parallel input signal are output in serial mode from a serial signal output terminal of the circuit device, and a serial input signal to the signal selection means is allowed to be stored in the storing means to adjust the logic levels of the output signal from the circuit device at desired levels voluntarily.
摘要:
In an ECL circuit, when a potential of an input signal A changes from "L" to "H", an output signal D correspondingly changes from "H" to "L", and, at this time, an output sent from a switching stage circuit is supplied to a gate of a PMOS transistor via a control capacitor. Thereby, a base current of a pull-down transistor flows, and change of a potential of an output terminal node is promoted. An NMOS transistor receiving the potential of the output terminal node is arranged between a node and a VEE supply terminal. Therefore, when the potential changes, the current flowing through a transistor decreases, and the base current of the pull-down transistor further increases, so that the change of the output signal D is further promoted.

The logic of an intermediate signal (Y.sub.1) goes high when an input signal (CI) makes an "L" to "H" transition, and then a transistor (Q.sub.1) turns on and a transistor (Q.sub.2) turns off. The input signal (CI) at a potential corresponding to the logic "H" at a CMOS level has been applied to the gate of an NMOS transisitor (N.sub.1), and the NMOS transistor (N.sub.1) turns on rapidly. At this time, only current flowing through the base of an output transistor (Q.sub.0) flows through parallel connection of a resistor (R.sub.2) and an on-resistance of the NMOS transistor (N.sub.1). Since the NMOS transistor (N.sub.1) is on, the base potential of the output transistor (Q.sub.0) is raised if the resistor (R.sub.2) has a high resistance, and current fed from the output transistor (Q.sub.0) increases, thereby raising the emitter potential of the output transistor (Q.sub.0). Then the logic of an output signal (EO) goes high. Power consumption of an output buffer circuit is reduced.
