ABSTRACT:
The semiconductor device includes a state detection circuit receiving control signals address signals and row address signals for outputting timing detection signals and test group detection signals, and a test mode setting signal generating circuit receiving row address signals, timing detection signals and test group detection signals for outputting multibit test mode setting signal and test mode setting signals accordingly. The semiconductor device allows setting of standardized multibit test mode singly, and also allows simultaneous setting of the multibit test mode and a special test mode not standardized by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, so that the standard is satisfied and the time for special tests not standardized can be reduced.
