1. A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising:

  • a plurality of signal pins each for executing signal transaction to the outside;

    at least one signal pin designated for a DC test, when a DC test among a) a test for checking connection between the signal pins and an external connected tester, b) a test for checking a current leak failure to the signal pins provided for signal input from the outside, and c) a test for checking a voltage level output from the signal pins provided for signal output to the outside is executed, said at least one signal pin connected to the external tester;

    a plurality of internal circuits connected to the plurality of signal pins respectively and provided for signal transactions to the outside; and

    a plurality of switches, each connected between said at least one signal pin designated for the DC test and a signal path between each of the plurality of internal circuits and the respective remaining signal pin, said plurality of switches for successively connecting the plurality of internal circuits to the at least one signal pin designated for the DC test and said plurality of switches being conductive one by one successively when the DC test is performed.
