    Abstract: A memory device including a repair circuit and an operating method of the memory device are provided. The operating method includes outputting a signal representing a pre-decoded faulty row address based on predecoding a faulty row address, outputting a signal representing a pre-decoded row address based on predecoding a row address, outputting hit signals based on comparing a bit value of the pre-decoded faulty row address with a bit value of the pre-decoded row address, outputting a repair enable signal based on the hit signals, and performing a row repair operation based on the repair enable signal.

    Abstract: A method of testing a repair circuit of a memory device. The method may include storing first addresses in a first register of the repair circuit, wherein the first register is configured to store faulty addresses during a normal operation of the memory device, and the repair circuit is configured to perform a repair operation to replace the faulty addresses with redundancy addresses, storing test addresses in a second register of the repair circuit, wherein the test addresses are provided from a test host, outputting hit signals by comparing bit values of the addresses stored in the first register with bit values of the addresses stored in the second register, outputting repair enable signals based on the hit signals, and determining a status of a path where the repair enable signals are generated based on logic levels of the repair enable signals.
