Abstract

An integrated circuit including first pads and second pads, a first receiver circuit and a first driver circuit respectively connected to the first pad, a second receiver circuit and a second driver circuit respectively connected to the second pad, and a first loopback circuit having a first input terminal electrically connected to the first receiver circuit, a first output terminal electrically connected to the first driver circuit, a second output terminal electrically connected to the second driver circuit, and a second input terminal electrically connected to the second receiver circuit may be provided. At a normal mode, the first loopback circuit electrically connects the first input terminal to the second output terminal and electrically connects the second input terminal to the first output terminal. At a test mode, the first loopback circuit electrically connects the first input terminal to the first output terminal.
