Abstract

See full text

According to the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit having: a BIST including a data generator, an address generator, a control signal generator, a result analyzer, a BIST controller, and a diagnostic data storage circuit including a first capture register which captures and outputs, in accordance with a first clock, a latest address signal and the BIST state signal output from said BIST controller while the flag signal is in as state that no fault is detected, and maintains outputs when the flag signal is in a state that a fault is detected. The semiconductor integrated circuit can further include a memory collar having a memory cell, a second capture register, a comparator, and a flag register. The semiconductor integrated circuit can perform a fault diagnosing operation of a memory by using a comparator type BIST circuit.
