Abstract

A test circuit of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a through via, a voltage driving unit, and a determination unit. The through via is charged by receiving an input voltage. The voltage driving unit generates a test voltage by charging or discharging the through via in response to a test control signal. The determination unit compares levels of the input voltage and the test voltage and outputs a resultant signal.
