Abstract
A semiconductor memory device includes a data bus terminal group for outputting read data to an external device or inputting write data from an external device, a first terminal from or into which 1-bit data is output or input, a DBI circuit that executes a Data Bus Inversion (DBI) function, an error detection circuit that detects an internal error, and an information superimposing circuit that superimposes predetermined output information onto the 1-bit data to be output from the first terminal and the read data to be output from the data bus terminal group. The predetermined output information includes first output information indicating whether or not an output bit pattern of the data bus terminal group is inverted, and second output information indicating whether or not an internal error has been detected by the error detection circuit.
