ABSTRACT:
In measuring the ac specifications of a microprocessor having within one chip, a clock generator which generates a clock signal, a first connecting terminal for connecting a crystal oscillator which regulates the oscillation frequency of the clock generator, a first driver which amplifies the power of the clock signal, a second connecting terminal which receives an output of the first driver, a peripheral circuit which receives the supply of a clock signal, a CPU which is operated by the clock signal and controls the operation of the peripheral circuit, a second driver which amplifies the power of an output of the CPU, and a third connecting terminal which receives the supply of an output of the second driver, there are executed a first step of measuring the ac specification of the clock generator with the output to the second connecting terminal by applying test pulses from an IC tester to the first connecting terminal under the condition in which the crystal oscillator is removed, and a second step of measuring the ac specification of the CPU with the output to the third connecting terminal by removing a connecting line and applying test pulses from the IC tester to a fourth connecting terminal.
