A data transfer circuit includes: an asynchronous memory to which transfer data is written from a first clock domain with a first clock and from which the written transfer data is read to a second clock domain with a second clock; a scan flip-flop whose input terminal is connected to a first position located on a data path, of the transfer data, from the asynchronous memory to the second clock domain, and whose output terminal is connected to a second position located on a data path, of the transfer data, from the asynchronous memory to the first position; and a clock selector which selects a clock to drive the scan flip-flop from the first clock and the second clock.
