    摘要: A semiconductor memory having an error correcting function is provided, which has a device by which the user finds no difficulty in making use of the semiconductor memory and can test it with ease. In the semiconductor memory, a signal indicative of the completion of the preparation for reading/writing is outputted from the memory so that the user, after detecting the output of this signal, performs reading/writing data. To facilitate tests, such as a memory cell test for a redundant bit (check bit), an encoding circuit test and a decoding circuit test, the present invention provides that the arranged tests can be made independently of each other.

    摘要: In a defect relieving technology which replaces defective memory cells of a semiconductor memory device by spare memory cells, use is made of an associative memory. Address information of a defective memory cell is stored as a reference data of the associative memory, and new address information of a spare memory cell is written down as output data of the associative memory. A variety of improvements are made to the associative memory. For instance, a plurality of coincidence detection signal lines of the associative memory are divided into at least two groups, and one group among them is selected by switching means. Reference data of the associative memory comprises three values consisting of binary information of "0" and "1", and don't care value "X". The associative memory further includes a plurality of electrically programable non-volatile semiconductor memory elements.
