A memory circuit has: a real cell array; a parity generating circuit for generating a parity bit from data of the real cell array; a parity cell array; a refresh control circuit, which sequentially refreshes the real cell array, and when an internal refresh request and a read request coincide, prioritizes a refresh operation; a data recovery section, which, in accordance with the parity bit read out from the parity cell array, recovers data read out from the real cell array; and an output circuit for outputting data from the real cell array. Further, the memory circuit has a test control circuit, which, at a first test mode, prohibits a refresh operation for the real cell array to output data read out from the real cell array, and, at a second test mode, controls the output circuit so as to output data read out from the parity cell array.
