A momentary test mode enabling circuit capable of enabling the test mode using a negative pulse signal below the ground voltage level and of inputting normal operational inputs to the input pin even in the period of test mode, The circuit comprising a level detecting unit for detecting a level of an input signal being inputted to the input pin, a Schmitt trigger unit for stabilizing the level of the signal detected at the level detecting unit and outputting clock signals, and a toggle and latch section for outputting a test enabling signal upon the control of the clock signals from the Schmitt trigger unit. By use of the Schmitt trigger circuit, the input level detection signal is stabilized, thus increasing the noise margin and the test enabling and disabling operations may be easily carried out by the negative change of a momentary input signal.
