Abstract:
A normal write data selection circuit operates in the normal operation mode, and thus outputs data received through external data terminals to any one of regular cell arrays selected according to an address. A test write control circuit operates in the test mode, and thus writes test data into a regular memory cell at a location corresponding to a location of a parity memory cell into which test parity data are written in each of regular cell arrays. Therefore, since a common test pattern can be used to test both the regular memory cell and the parity memory cell, test cost can be curtailed.
