Abstract

A semiconductor memory device having a normal mode of reading and writing data from and to a selected memory cell of a memory cell array. The semiconductor memory device is characterized by control means for switching the normal operation mode to a test mode in response to a test mode signal applied to a certain input terminal, selecting all desired memory cells of the memory cell array at a time, and allowing data applied to a data input terminal to be written to all the selected and desired memory cells at one time.
