An encoding circuit shortens time required for a coincidence signal to be converted into an address code after selected and output sequentially according to a predetermined priority level when the coincidence signal is obtained from an associative memory. The circuit is provided with a contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and a contention arbitrating circuit for a higher subgroup. In the contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and the contention arbitrating circuit for higher subgroup, each coincidence signal simultaneously activates inhibiting signals whose priority levels are lower than the priority level of the coincidence signal. A lower half of coincidence signals are arranged in descending order in the contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and a higher half of coincidence signals are arranged in ascending order in the contention arbitrating circuit for a higher subgroup. The contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and the contention arbitrating circuit for a higher subgroup are arranged in a triangular array and a complementary triangular array, respectively.

A data storing circuit including memory cells arranged in a plurality of rows and columns and flag cells corresponding to respective rows for storing flag information, the memory cells and the flag cell of the same row constituting one word, is provided. When a retrieval data is externally applied, the data included in the retrieval data is compared with the data of the memory cell, and the flag information stored in the retrieval data is compared with the flag stored in the flag cell. Respective results of comparison are output to a match line. Logical operation circuit carries out logical operation dependent on the result of comparison output to the match line, and writes the logical output to the flag cell of the data storing circuit.

In a pin contact test, a voltage across an external pin is measured by setting a voltage to be supplied to the power supply nodes in input protection circuits in their respective chips at a prescribed amount by means of voltage control circuits and by supplying a prescribed constant current to external pin. Based on the measurement results, a pin contact failure in chips can be detected.
