    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a normal test signal generator and a termination signal generator. The normal test signal generator is suitable for generating a first enablement signal and a first pulse signal in response to an external command signal when a first code signal and a second code signal have a predetermined logic combination. Further, the normal test signal generator is suitable for decoding a first test address signal and a second test address signal to generate first to fourth normal test signals. The termination signal generator is suitable for receiving the first pulse signal during an enablement period of the first enablement signal to generate a first termination signal which is enabled when a predetermined signal among the first to fourth normal test signals is generated.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with at-speed testing of static random access memory (SRAM) are described. In one embodiment, a method includes loading, into a multi-stage pipeline of memory devices, a control pattern for testing a static random access memory (SRAM). The SRAM is tested by generating a test input that is based, at least in part, on the control pattern from the multi-stage pipeline of flip-flops. The test input is provided to the SRAM over a series of clock cycles that are at a core clock speed of the SRAM.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is configured to internally perform a test operation utilizing a random data pattern. The semiconductor memory device includes a random data pattern test unit that operates under control of on-board control logic that also manages normal operation of the semiconductor memory device. The control logic controls test operation of the semiconductor memory device in response to simple commands received from an external device. Therefore, the test time may be reduced more than when a test is entirely controlled by an external device. Furthermore, since the external device does not need to manage the random data pattern, the test cost may be reduced more than when a test is performed under control of the external device.

    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes a plurality of bit lines; a plurality of page buffers corresponding to the bit lines, respectively, and configured to each store a write data; and a control circuit configured to control at least one page buffer of the plurality of page buffers to store the write data of a first logic level and control other ones of the plurality of page buffers to store the write data of a second logic level, wherein the control circuit is further configured to select the at least one page buffer based on an address inputted to the control circuit. Since write data of diverse patterns may be generated within a non-volatile memory device by using a portion of the bits of the address, a test operation of the non-volatile memory device may be performed within a short time.
