Each of program units which is arranged to be adjacent to a memory array, stores redundant information of 1 bit necessary for replacement and repair. Prior to normal data read operation, the redundant information read from the program units is latched in a row select circuit. The row select circuit selectively activates one of word lines corresponding to the normal memory cells and a spare word line in accordance with whether the defective row addresses indicated by the redundant information are matched to an inputted row addresses, respectively.
