An integrated semiconductor circuit (10) with function inputs (14a) and function outputs (16a), as well as with function units (12), which supply the function outputs (16a) with output signals which they generate as a function of the input signals applied to the function inputs (14a), including test inputs (18) and test outputs (20), as well as an interface unit (22, 26) which is inserted between the function units (12), on the one hand, and some of the function inputs (14a) and some of the function outputs (16a). The interface unit (22, 26) can be switched over, by means of test control signals applied to it, in such a way that it connects these several function inputs (14a) to the test outputs (20) or to the function units (12), and these several function outputs (16a) to the test inputs (18) or to the function units (12). A multi-chip module can be assembled on a common substrate (30) from a plurality of such integrated semiconductor circuits (10, 32), whereby the interface units of the semiconductor circuits contained in the multichip module make it possible to check these individual semiconductor circuits.
An integrated circuit having a first semiconductor circuit and a second semiconductor circuit on a common substrate to form a module having module inputs and module outputs, comprising:
