ABSTRACT:
A memory includes a number of memory groups. Each memory group includes a set of memory subgroups and a number of data bus drivers, wherein each data bus driver has a true input and a complement input and a true output and a complement output. The true and complement inputs are connected to a memory subgroup by at least one sense amplifier. A true connection point also is included in the memory, and the true output of one of the data bus drivers from each of the memory groups are connected together at the connection point, and a "wired" configuration is created. In addition, the memory includes a complement connection point, wherein the complement output of one of the data bus drivers from each of the memory groups are connected together at the connection point, creating a "wired" configuration. The memory also has a data bus circuit with a true input connected to the true connection point and a complement input connected to the complement connection point and a first circuit. This data bus circuit is responsive to signals from the true and complement connection points created by the simultaneous addressing of multiple groups or a subset of the memory subgroups in testing mode. The first circuit has an output for providing an indication of an error in addressing of the multiple groups or the subset of the memory subgroups.
