In an integrated circuit, a time-axis expanding circuit is provided in
addition to a driver circuit for outputting a signal outside. The
time-axis expanding circuit has an equivalent receiver circuit similar to
an ordinary receiver circuit, and a D-type flip-flop circuit connected to
the equivalent receiver circuit. Input signals from the pins of the
time-axis expanding circuit are inputted to the gates of CMOS transistors
of the equivalent receiver circuit, and equivalent differential receiving
signals outputted from the drains of the CMOS transistors are inputted to
the D input terminal of the D-type flip-flop circuit. A measuring clock
signal is inputted to the clock input terminal of the D-type flip-flop
circuit, and a time-axis-expanded signal is outputted from the Q output
terminal of the D-type flip-flop circuit to an output terminal of the
time-axis expanding circuit.
