ABSTRACT:
The redundant elements of an integrated circuit memory device having a plurality of redundant and non-redundant elements such as rows, columns, wordlines, and blocks, may be selectively enabled during a stress test mode so that both redundant elements and non-redundant elements may be stress tested concurrently. Enabling capabilities contained within the redundant element circuitry selectively enables the redundant elements when a stress test signal is equal to a predetermined value, indicative of a stress test mode.
