Abstract: A memory device includes a memory module and a BIST logic circuit. The BIST logic circuit includes; a pattern generator configured to generate first main data including a first portion, an error correction code (ECC) encoder configured to generate first parity data based on the first main data, and a parity control circuit configured to generate mask data based on the first parity data and the first main data, and generate first substituted parity data based on the mask data and the first parity data, wherein a pattern of the first substituted parity data is the same as a pattern of the first portion of the first main data.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter and a built-in self-test circuit. The digital-to-analog converter performs a normal conversion operation to generate an analog output signal by converting a digital input signal corresponding to an external digital signal that is provided from an external device outside the semiconductor integrated circuit and provide the analog output signal to the external device. The built-in self-test circuit, while the digital-to-analog converter performs the normal conversion operation, performs a real-time monitoring operation to generate a comparison alarm signal based on the digital input signal and the analog output signal such that the comparison alarm signal indicates whether the digital-to-analog converter operates normally. Performance and reliability of the digital-to-analog converter and the semiconductor integrated circuit including the digital-to-analog converter may be enhanced by monitoring in real-time abnormality of the digital-to-analog converter using the on-time monitor.

Abstract: A test method is provided to test a semiconductor integrated circuit including an analog-to-digital converter and/or a digital-to-analog converter. An analog test signal having a test pattern is generated using an analog test signal generator or a digital test signal having the test pattern using a digital test signal generator. An analog output signal corresponding to the test pattern is generated by applying, as a digital input signal, the digital test signal having the test pattern to a digital-to-analog converter responsive to generation of the digital test signal. A digital output signal corresponding to the test pattern is generated by applying, as an analog input signal, the analog test signal having the test pattern or the analog output signal corresponding to the test pattern to an analog-to-digital converter. A normality of the semiconductor integrated circuit is determined based on the digital output signal corresponding to the test pattern.
