This substrate voltage generating circuit (internal voltage generating circuit) includes an oscillator, a p channel transistor, an AND circuit, and a pump circuit. The substrate voltage generating circuit is stopped by applying stop signals S and S to the p channel transistor and the AND circuit connected to the oscillator, and by cutting supply of power supply voltage to the oscillator and a path of output of the oscillator. In order to find current consumption at stand-by of a semiconductor memory device, current consumptions of the whole semiconductor memory device at stand-by before and after operation of the substrate voltage generating circuit is stopped as described above are measured, and the difference between them is calculated. Current consumption of the substrate voltage generating circuit is thus found. As described above, the internal voltage generating circuit can be stopped without cutting a wire, thereby allowing measurement of current consumption of the internal voltage generating circuit at stand-by of the semiconductor memory device. As a result, a problem caused by cutting of the wire can be prevented.

A semiconductor memory device having a redundant circuit for electrically replacing a defective memory cell column with a spare memory cell column. An electric fuse (25) is connected between a precharging voltage line (V.sub.BL) and bit lines (BL, BL). When a defective memory cell exists, the precharging voltage tries to vary through this fuse. However, this fuse is cut off, so that the precharging voltage is prevented from varying. Accordingly, data stored in the remaining memory cells are read out correctly and without delay.

A semiconductor memory device uses in a test mode a clock signal from a tester to allow a test clock conversion circuit and a DLL circuit to generate a rapid internal clock. The internal clock is applied to serial-parallel conversion circuits subjecting received, packetized data to serial-parallel conversion, and an interface circuit receiving and decoding outputs from the serial-parallel conversion circuits and outputting a command such as ACT to a DRAM core. Furthermore, an internal packet generation circuit uses the internal clock to rapidly generate a testing packet signal. Thus the device's operation can be checked with a low speed tester, without externally receiving a rapid packet signal.
