ABSTRACT:
An exemplary aspect of the invention is to conduct delay tests under actual operating conditions for a semiconductor integrated circuit including multiple logic circuits operating based on clocks of different frequencies, without causing any inconveniences when a test clock is set to a high-frequency side or a low-frequency side. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes: a first logic block that operates based on a first clock; a second logic block that operates based on a second clock having a frequency different from that of the first clock; and a test circuit connected between the first logic block and the second logic block. The test circuit outputs an output of the first logic block set as a test target, without passing through the second logic block, and transmits an input value received without being passed through the first logic circuit, to the second logic circuit set as a test target.
