Abstract: To provide a test technology capable of reducing a package size by reducing a number of terminals (pins) in a semiconductor integrated circuit of SIP or the like constituted by mounting a plurality of semiconductor chips to a single package, in SIP 102 constituted by mounting a plurality of semiconductor chips to a signal package of ASIC 100, SDRAM 101 and the like, a circuit of testing SDRAM 101 (SDRAMBIST 109) is provided at inside of ASIC 100, and SDRAM 101 is tested from outside of SDRAM 101, that is, from ASIC 100. By providing the test circuit of SDRAM 101 at inside of ASIC 100, it is not necessary to extrude a terminal for testing SDRAM 101 to outside of SIP 102.

Abstract: A protection circuit device for protecting a secondary battery from an overcharge and/or an overdischarge has first and second terminals, across which a charger and a load are alternatively connectable. A first switch and/or a second switch may be provided in series with the secondary battery between the first and second terminals. In a charging operation mode, the second switch is kept conductive. A charging operation is performed with the first switch made conductive. When the battery is overcharged for some reasons, the first switch is turned off. Upon connection of a load across the first and second terminals, the first switch is restored to a conductive state for a discharging operation which releases the battery from an overdischarge state. In a discharging operation mode, the first switch is kept conductive. A discharge operation is performed with the second switch made conductive.
