An improved semiconductor memory device capable of easily detecting the location of a defective bit line and a defective memory cell as a leakage current path for a short time is provided. A region flowing a leakage current no smaller than a predetermined value is determined by detecting one of a first large region and a remaining second large region, either of said first and second large regions being selected by simultaneously selecting a predetermined number of said column selection lines. Then, a region flowing a leakage current no smaller than a predetermined value is determined by detecting one of a first small region and a remaining second small region, said first and second small regions constituting said one of the first and second large regions, either of said first and second small regions being selected by simultaneously selecting a predetermined number of said column selection lines. For this purpose, an address signal output control circuit is provided within the semiconductor memory device. The address signal output control circuit is supplied with an address output control signal as externally given as a control signal for the purpose of selecting said row selection line by taking control of said row addressing signal in order to perform the control process as described above.

In the semiconductor memory device, memory cells are divided into plural blocks; each block is further divided into plural I/O unit groups; and furthermore each I/O unit group is divided into plural small groups. The word lines provided for each small group of memory cells arranged at similar locations in each unit group are connected in common to a word line selecting line selected by a select circuit. Therefore, the number of memory cells connected to one word line can be reduced to decrease the power consumption and to increase the operating speed, without increasing the wiring capacitance and the chip size.

A memory device of the invention has a P type substrate, a first drain area of N type formed in the substrate, a second drain area of N type formed in the substrate close to the first drain area, and a source area of N.sup.+ type formed around the first and second drain areas so that the source area continuously surrounds the drain areas from three sides, e.g., the right, left and top sides of these areas. The combination of the closed arrangement of the drain areas and the surrounding arrangement of the source area decreases minority carriers generated around the drain areas and prevents unbalanced carrier absorption of the drain areas, thereby suppressing the occurrence of a soft error.

A control system for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders and a switching mechanism for switching between an all-cylinder operation in which all of the plurality of cylinders are operated and a partial-cylinder operation in which at least one of the plurality of cylinders is halted. A condition for performing the partial-cylinder operation is determined, based on the detected operating parameters of the vehicle driven by the engine. A result of the determination is modified so that the partial-cylinder operation may be continued, when the detected operating parameters satisfy a predetermined continuation condition within a predetermined time period from the time a vehicle operating state where the condition for performing the partial-cylinder operation is satisfied, has changed to another vehicle operating state where the condition for performing the partial-cylinder operation is not satisfied.
