In this paper, a semi-conductor integrated circuit device is implemented in the test mode of the internal circuit due to the fact that it permits a part of region belonging to the integrated circuit devices to allocate to outer memory space.
Abstract
In a semi-conductor integrated circuit device, a memory space provided with the integrated circuit device is not occupied by space for testing the integrated circuit device as the testing memory space. In the test mode of the semi-conductor integrated circuit device, test of internal circuit is capable of being implemented due to the fact that it permits a part of region belonging to the integrated circuit device to allocate to outer memory space. While in a normal operation mode, degree of freedom of design of the integrated circuit device is increased by releasing the testing memory space.

IC card having fault checking function

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an IC card having a fault check function comprising a ROM having test areas of the number corresponding to memory address lines so that predetermined various data necessary for executing a fault checking are recorded in advance into the test areas, means for successively reading out the data previously recorded in the test area, detecting coincidence of the respective data successively read out by the reading-out means with corresponding ones of said predetermined data, and means for making judgement as to whether a fault exists or not on the basis of a result of detection by the coincidence detecting means.
