ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory testing apparatus is provided which is capable of storing failure data of many semiconductor memories under test by a small memory capacity. A group of n input terminals IN.sub.1 -IN.sub.n are provided for each of m failure analysis memory units 13.sub.1 -13.sub.m, n being equal to the number of ways n of an interleave operation, and in the low rate test mode, low rate failure data LFAL.sub.1 -LFAL.sub.n are inputted to all the corresponding input terminals IN.sub.1 -IN.sub.n, respectively. Moreover, a plurality of failure format parts FLFO.sub.1 -FLFO.sub.n are provided for the memory control part MCON of each of the m failure analysis memory units, n being equal to the number of ways n of an interleave operation, and low rate failure data LFAL.sub.1 -LFAL.sub.n are stored in n banks BNC#1-BNC#n provided for each memory block MBLK through these n failure format parts FLFO.sub.1 -FLFO.sub.n, respectively.
