Abstract
A precharge control circuit controls on/off of transfer gates to set a signal level of a precharge control signal in accordance with a level of a control signal input to a precharge command input pad when a write recovery test signal is active. In a normal operation, the precharge control circuit deactivates the write recovery test signal to set the signal level of the precharge control signal in accordance with a combination of control signals. Consequently, the precharge operation can be started in accordance with an arbitrary control signal generated by an external memory tester or the like in a test mode, and thereby evaluation of a write recovery time can be executed.
