Semiconductor memory device having shortened testing time

摘要

The period of time required for a parallel test can be shortened by widening the application range of the parallel test. In the semiconductor memory device having memory cell portions, there are provided a column controller that simultaneously activates a plurality of columns which are subject to degenerate substitution in a column redundant substitution; and a data read-out circuit that simultaneously reads out the data from a plurality of memory cells as selected by the above plurality of columns.
