Abstract

Pulses are generated using an edge of a clock signal applied from a low speed tester as a trigger, and internal clock signals are generated utilizing the pulses. Internal circuitry is operated in synchronization with the internal clock signals. Thus a synchronous semiconductor device operating at high speed can be tested using a low speed tester.
