<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein the test time of a scan test increases even if the occurrence of voltage drop (IR drop) of a power supply line is suppressed during a scan test of a semiconductor integrated circuit. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The scan test circuit includes scan sub-chains, a scan chain selection circuit, and scan shift input terminals. Each of the scan sub-chains belonging to the same first kind of groups is connected to a different scan shift input terminal, and each of the scan sub-chains belonging to different first kind of groups is connected to one scan shift input terminal in parallel. The scan chain selection circuit controls the scan sub-chains so that the scan sub-chains for simultaneously performing scan operation belong to any first group. Even when all of the scan sub-chains belonging to the same first kind of groups simultaneously perform scan operation, allowance of the IR drop is satisfied. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
