The first and second flip-flop circuits are connected in series included within a combinational logic for carrying out a delay test. The first and second flip-flop circuits are provided with control pins, system clock pins, scan clock pins, system data pins and scan data pins, respectively. A delay time propagated from the first flip-flop circuit to the second flip-flop circuit through the path of the combinational logic to be tested is measured by detecting an input time to the first flip-flop circuit by the system clock signal to the first flip-flop circuit in response to an input signal to the control pins and a time stored in the second flip-flop circuit corresponding to output system data from the first flip-flop circuit. By measuring the delay time, whether the combinational logic is normal or abnormal is detected.
