ABSTRACT:
The semiconductor device includes a circuit, such as, an ECL circuit for comparing input signals with a reference potential determined as a circuit threshold value and outputting an output signal according to the comparison result. The semiconductor device further includes a switching circuit for switching the reference potential level between ordinary operation and burn-in operation of the ECL circuit. The time required for the burn-in operation can be reduced markedly.
