ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for testing a memory device with a long-term clock signal by automatically performing precharge only after activation. In this method, a signal for precharging the banks of the memory device is automatically generated only at the falling edge of an external signal when a signal for activating the banks is applied. Accordingly, the present invention ensures a stable test of the memory device, reducing the testing time.
