Abstract

An input/output (I/O) line test device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, which may relate to a technology for testing a base die having no cell using various patterns. The I/O line test device may include an interface controller configured to perform signal transmission/reception between a pad and an input/output line (IOL), and a signal transceiver configured to perform signal transmission/reception between the IOL and a through silicon via (TSV). The I/O line test device may include a latch unit configured to latch output data of the signal transceiver, and a test controller configured to output a control signal for controlling whether the signal transceiver performs a reception operation in response to a write enable signal and a test signal.
