ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an input buffer circuit for semiconductor integrated circuit which has: a differential amplification circuit to amplify an input signal; a current cutting-off circuit which cuts off the short-circuit current of the differential amplification circuit when a test enable signal supplied from the outside is in on-state; and a selection means which selects the output of the differential amplification circuit when the test enable signal is in off-state and outputs selecting the input signal when the test enable signal is in on-state. Optionally, the input buffer circuit further has: a control circuit which controls the differential amplification circuit and the selection circuit so that the test enable signal is made valid when an input enable signal supplied from the outside is in on-state, and the short-circuit current of the differential amplification circuit is cut off and a signal with a given level is output to the next stage when the input enable signal is in off-state.
