Abstract

This DDR SDRAM, in the normal operation mode, performs a writing operation having a writing latency and, in the testing mode, performs a writing operation without having a writing latency by receiving a data strobe signal and a data signal one clock cycle before a writing command. Therefore, the testing time is short even if the test is carried out at a low frequency.
