Abstract

The present invention discloses a memory test circuit having repair information maintaining mechanism. A repairing control circuit controls a MBISR circuit to perform a self-repair procedure on a memory circuit and includes a remapping storage circuit and a latch storage circuit. The remapping storage circuit receives and stores repairing information generated by the MBISR circuit after the self-repair procedure finishes. The latch storage circuit is electrically coupled between the remapping storage circuit and a remapping circuit corresponding to the memory circuit to receive and store the repairing information from the remapping storage circuit such that the remapping circuit accesses the repairing information therefrom when a scan test is performed on the remapping storage circuit based on a scan chain to perform remapping and repairing on the memory circuit based on the repairing information and a redundant structure of the memory circuit.
