Abstract
In a semiconductor memory device, in a normal operation, data is written to selected four memory cells in accordance with external write data DQ0 to DQ3 applied to four data input/output terminals. In test mode, same data is commonly written to the selected four memory cells in accordance with write data DQ applied to one data input/output terminal. In the test mode operation, signal transmission between the remaining three data input/output terminals and the corresponding input buffer circuits is cut off by a CMOS logic gate provided therebetween and controlled in accordance with a test mode designating signal /TE.
