ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory comprising memory cells, a write buffer, a write inversion gate, a data input terminal, and four write data buses 1-4. The write buffer and the write inversion gate place onto two write data buses 1 and 3 the data input through the data input terminal. The inverted data of the input data is output onto two other write data buses 2 and 4. This causes alternately different data to be written to four contiguous memory cells. The scheme permits detection of a cell fault caused by interference between contiguous memory cells.
