A semiconductor device includes at least two die stacked on and electrically coupled to an underlying buffer die, which includes a delay control circuit therein. The delay control circuit is configured to: (i) receive and selectively delay test inputs for testing the at least two die, and (ii) transfer test inputs and a delayed version of the test inputs to a first one of the at least two die and a second one of the at least two die, respectively, during test mode operation. The at least two die may include a vertical stack of N (N>2) die on the buffer die and the delay control circuit may include a timing control circuit therein that is configured to supply test inputs to each of the N die in a staged manner so that commencement of respective test modes within each of the N die using the test inputs are out-of-sync relative to each other.
