Abstract:
An address generation circuit generates a target address to be tested in a memory. A test data generation circuit generates write data for the address and expected value data for read data from the address. A judgment circuit compares matching/non-matching of the read data and the expected value data, for each address, judges that error correction is possible when the number of non-matching bits is within a range of numbers of bits to be error-corrected by an ECC circuit, and judges that error correction is not possible when the number is not within the range.

Claim (Index 13):
A diagnostic method for a semiconductor device having a memory, comprising:\n a first step of generating a target address to be tested in the memory; a second step of generating write data for the address and expected value data for read data from the address, and a third step of comparing matching/non-matching of the read data and the expected value data for each address, judging that error correction is possible when a number of non-matching bits is within a range of numbers of bits to be error-corrected by an ECC (Error Correcting Code) circuit, and judging that error correction is not possible when the number is not within the range.
