An input circuit writes an expected value to one end of an evaluation wiring. A latch circuit latches a logic level of the other end of the evaluation wiring. A first switch circuit connects an output of the input circuit to the input of the latch circuit. A second switch circuit connects the output of the input circuit to the one end of the evaluation wiring. A third switch circuit connects the other end of the evaluation wiring to the input of the latch circuit. By turning on, off, and off the first to third switch circuits, respectively, the output of the input circuit is directly connected to only the input of the latch circuit. In this state, the input circuit writes an expected value, and a logic level is read from the latch circuit. Accordingly, failure of the evaluation wiring can be easily discriminated from other failure.
