Abstract

A memory array is logically and/or physically divided into a plurality of blocks to allow test by individual blocks. When a plurality of column address strobe signals are provided and memory accessing is made by a plurality of bits to the memory array corresponding to the column address strobe signal, tests are independently conducted for each memory array by using the column address strobe signal.
