In an electronic device having an interface circuit which operates using a
fast clock source, frequency deviation of the clock source is inspected
in the mounted state. The clock pulses of the fast clock source are
counted in synchronization with an electronic device serving as
reference, and the result is checked; or, alignment data of transfer data
and overflow/underflow of the FIFO buffer are utilized; or, the count
values of an internal counter and a fast clock counter are utilized, to
check for frequency deviation of the fast clock source. In the state of
being mounted in the device, tests can be performed of the clock sources
of all units.
