Abstract

Abstract For testing memory cells (SZ), a pair of external bit lines (XB, XB) are precharged to mutually complementary logic levels. All the memory cells (SZ) of a word line (WL) are always read out parallel to one another. If "in order", the pair of external bit lines (XB, XB) retains its precharged level, if there is an error the level of that external bit line which is precharged to logical 1 drops. This is detected and evaluated by a discriminator circuit (DISC). <IMAGE>
