Abstract:
1. A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising: a test terminal serially supplied with a command; a test control circuit coupled to said test terminal for supplying a control signal in response to said command; a first function module including a first test data input terminal, a first test data output terminal, and a plurality of first signal terminals; a second function module including a second test data input terminal, a second test data output terminal, and a plurality of second signal terminals; a bus interface circuit including a first input coupled to said plurality of first signal terminals, and a second input coupled to said plurality of second signal terminals; a switching circuit including a first selector having a first output coupled to said first test data input and a second output coupled to the first input of said bus interface circuit, a second selector having a first input coupled to said first test data output terminal and a second input coupled to the first output of said bus interface circuit, a third selector having a third output coupled to said second test data input terminal and a fourth output coupled to the second input of said bus interface circuit, and a fourth selector having a third input coupled to said second test data output terminal and a fourth input terminal coupled to the second output of said bus interface circuit; a first external terminal coupled to an input of said first selector and an output of said second selector; and a second external terminal coupled to an input of said third selector and an output of said fourth selector, wherein said first selector connects said first output and said input of said first selector in response to a first state of said control signal, and connects said second output and said input of said first selector in response to a second state of said control signal; said second selector connects said first input and said output of said second selector in response to said first state of said control signal, and connects said second input and said output in response to said second state of said control signal; said third selector connects said third output and said input of said third selector in response to said first state of said control signal, and connects said fourth output and said input in response to said second state of said control signal; and said fourth selector connects said third input and said output of fourth selector in response to said first state of said control signal, and connects said fourth input and said output in response to said second state of said control signal.
