Test pattern generation circuit having plural pseudo random number generation circuits supplied with clock signals at different timing respectively
First Claim
1. A test pattern generation circuit, comprising:
- a plurality of pseudo random number generation circuits which are provided respectively corresponding to signal lines in a bus wiring, which each have a first initial value set to be the same value in advance, and which generates pseudo random numbers having the first initial value as a starting value in response to a first clock signal; and
a clock control circuit that determines, according to a value of a control signal, each of output-start timings of the first clock signals respectively provided to the plurality of pseudo random number generation circuits.

Abstract
A test pattern generation circuit has multiple pseudo random number generation circuits and a clock control circuit. The pseudo random number generation circuits are provided corresponding to the respective signal lines in a bus wiring, and have predetermined first initial values, which take the same value. In response to first clock signals, the pseudo random number generation circuits generate pseudo random numbers including the first initial values as starting values. According to the value of a control signal, the clock control circuit determines the output-start timings of the first clock signals to be respectively provided to the multiple pseudo random number generation circuits.
