Abstract

At the time of writing data, a tester outputs a chip enable signal /CE of the L level and selection signals of the L level to simultaneously make semiconductor memory devices active. At the time of reading data, the tester outputs the chip enable signal of the L level to the semiconductor memory devices, and selectively switches the logic level of a selection signal to be outputted to some semiconductor memory devices and that of the selection signal to be outputted to the other semiconductor memory devices to the L level. In such a manner, a number of semiconductor memory devices can be tested without increasing the number of pins of the tester.
