Abstract
Provided is a memory macro which allows detection of a fault in a fetch circuit for an address signal which is input. The memory micro includes an address input terminal, a clock input terminal, a memory array and a control unit. The control unit includes a temporary memory circuit which fetches an input address signal which is input into the address input terminal in synchronization with an input clock signal which is input from the clock input terminal and outputs the input address signal as an internal address signal. The memory macro further includes an internal address output terminal which outputs the internal address signal for comparison with the input address signal.
