A register file device has a memory array, a scan connection configuration circuit, a file writing unit, a file reading unit, and a scan control circuit. The memory includes first storage devices which are obtained by adding shift transfer gate and an output gate to a master flip-flop only latch in a conventional register file using master flip-flop only latch storage devices, and a scan connection configuration circuit and a scan control circuit using master flip-flop only second storage devices are added thereto to realize the scan function of internally constituting a shift register and reading contents thereof in testing. The size of the register file is reduced by using master flip-flop only latch storage devices, and a high test/diagnosis efficiency is achieved by using the internal scan function in master-slave type flip-flop (2 latches) storage devices.
