ABSTRACT:
Through setting an internal test mode, a refresh operation for a DRAM is carried out by externally inputted address signals, instead of internally generated address signals, while maintaining the same number of memory cell arrays to be activated as that of memory cell arrays which are concurrently activated in a refresh for memory cell arrays. This configuration needs no drastic addition of circuits and allows a reduction in disturb test time for a plurality of memory cell arrays.
