Abstract
A memory device includes a memory cell array, a reference generating circuit, a row decoding circuit that is connected to the memory cell array through word lines, a page buffer circuit that is connected to the memory cell array through bit lines, a data input/output circuit that is connected to the page buffer circuit through a data line, a buffer circuit, a control logic circuit that performs logic sequences, based on the internal clock signal and the internal power, and a test mode circuit. When the memory device enters a test mode, the test mode circuit disables a part of components of the reference generating circuit. In the test mode, the control logic circuit performs the logic sequences by using an external clock signal provided from an external device.
