Abstract
During a first data compression test mode which disables an error correction function, first test data are written to a first regular memory block. Second test data are written to not only a second regular memory block, but a parity memory block. By changing the number of bits distributed to the first and second test data (compression rate of data), a data compression test for a parity memory block can be performed without need to increase the number of test terminals. As a result, the test time can be decreased and the test cost can be decreased.
