A refresh circuit performs directive operation for the execution of refresh operation in response to a cycle signal cyclically output from a timer circuit provided in a command-signal activating circuit. To execute testing, a stop signal generated in response to an external signal is activated, the activated stop signal is input to an AND gate, and the cycle signal is thereby invalidated. This causes the refresh operation to terminate, thereby enabling this semiconductor memory device to refresh characteristic testing to be performed.
