Patent ID: 7036056

Claim:
A semiconductor memory device with a test mode carrying out testing of reading out data from a memory cell, said semiconductor memory device comprising: a first circuit provided corresponding to a bit line pair, having data of both bit lines of said bit line pair input a plurality of times to output a first logic value when said data of each bit line input a plurality of times are all the same data, and to output a second logic value when said input data indicates different data; a first control circuit sequentially rendering active a plurality of word lines connected to a plurality of memory cells such that data of a bit line pair corresponding to said memory cell is sequentially input to said first circuit; and a second control circuit sending an output of said first circuit to one bit line of said bit line pair to output data corresponding to potentials of said bit line pair after a process under control of said first control circuit ends, wherein said first control circuit renders active a first control signal after a sense amplifier is rendered active, said first circuit comprises a logic circuit and a flip-flop corresponding to each bit line of said bit line pair, and said logic circuit to which data of a corresponding bit line and said first control signal are input to provide data of said bit line to a set input terminal of said flip-flop in response to activation of said first control signal.
