    摘要: An address signal is transmited to a decoder before the activation of a control signal operating a memory cell. Here, the decoder is inactivated. Subsequently, after the activation of the control signal, the reception of a new address signal is inhibited, and the decoder is activated at the same time. Therefore, the decoder starts operating at an earlier timing of the operating cycle, outputting a decoding signal. This means reduction in access time. Moreover, the reception of a new address signal is inhibited after the activation of the control signal. This prevents the decoder from decoding incorrect address signals ascribable to noises and the like, thereby avoiding malfunctions.

    摘要: First dummy memory cells connected to a first dummy signal line have the same shape and characteristics as those of a real memory cell. The first dummy memory cells are arranged to be adjacent to outermost real memory cells. A voltage setting circuit changes the voltage of the first dummy signal line from a first voltage to a second voltage in order to write test data onto the first dummy memory cell during a test mode. By writing data of a logic opposite to that of the test data onto the real memory cell adjacent to the first dummy memory cell by means of an operation control circuit, a leak failure that may occur between the first dummy memory cell and the real memory cell adjacent thereto can be checked.
