Method for testing an integrated semiconductor memory, and integrated semiconductor memory

摘要

An integrated semiconductor memory that can be tested includes a control circuit and a memory cell having a selection transistor. In a normal operating mode, the integrated semiconductor memory can be controlled by applying control signals and can be switched from a normal operating mode to a test operating mode by the applying a signal combination of the control signals. In the test operating mode, the control circuit interprets a first of the control signals as a signal for turning off the selection transistor and a second of the control signals or a signal combination of the control signals as a signal for switching the selection transistor into the on state. The method enables the testing of different times between reading a data set into the memory cell and turning off the selection transistor.
