A plurality of semiconductor integrated circuits have the same
configuration as that of an LSI which is subjected to debugging.
Different internal signals are respectively collected from the
semiconductor integrated circuits under the same operation conditions.
The operation of the LSI is analyzed based on the collected internal
signals. By doing this, it is not necessary to add output terminals to
the LSI or switch the internal signals output from output terminals at
periodic time intervals. This facilitates the debugging of the entire LSI
in a low-cost and simple configuration.
