Abstract

An LSI chip includes a plurality of output terminals and a test circuit. The test circuit includes a single test signal input terminal, a single test signal output terminal, a shift register, and a plurality of switches. The shift register includes an input terminal, which is connected to the test signal input terminal, output bits of the shift register being equal to a number of the output terminals of the LSI chip, and a voltage level of one of the output bits of the shift register being different from these of other output bits of the shift register in response to a clock pulse. Each switch includes an input terminal, an output terminal and a control terminal. A number of the switches is equal to the number of the output terminals of the LSI chip, each input terminal of the switches is connected to one of the output terminals of the LSI chip, the output terminals of the switches is commonly connected to the test signal output terminal, and each control terminal of each switch is connected to one of the output bits of the shift register.

Claims (8)

a carrier including a plurality of input leads, a plurality of output leads and a single test signal output lead; and

a rectangular-shaped voltage output driver LSI chip, which is mounted on the carrier, including a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of output terminals, a plurality of switch circuits and a single test signal output terminal, which is commonly connected to the output terminals via respective ones of the switch circuits, the voltage output driver LSI chip having a first side and a second side, which is arranged opposite to the first side,

wherein each of the input leads is electrically connected to one of the input terminals, each of the output leads is electrically connected to one of the output terminals and the single test signal output lead is electrically connected to the single test signal output terminal, and

wherein the input leads and the single test signal output lead are disposed along the first side of the LSI chip, the output leads are disposed along the second side of the LSI chip.

2. A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the input leads is less than that of the output leads.

3. A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a width of each input lead is wider than that of each output lead.

4. A semiconductor device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier is formed of one of a tape and a film.
