ABSTRACT:
A memory device with a test mode control circuit for entering a test mode responsive to a high on the Vss pin or a low on the Vcc pin that supply power to the output pins during normal operation of the memory device. In test mode the wordlines and bitlines of the memory remain active from the time they are activated, typically when the clock switched from a first to a second logic state, until the clock switches back to the first logic state.
