ABSTRACT:
In a small-size device, one input terminals of a plurality of AND circuits are connected in series. The other terminals of the plurality of AND circuits receive failure information held by a register circuit. Among the AND circuits, by changing values at the AND circuits which are connected in an output direction (i.e., most significant bit side) of an AND circuit receiving a failure bit and values at the AND circuits which are connected in an input direction (i.e., least significant bit side) of the AND circuit receiving the failure bit, a signal line associated with the failure bit is disconnected and signal lines are re-connected to adjacent signal lines including an extra line by selectors. Hence, a failure bit is compensated in a very simple structure.
