A memory test circuit comprises a memory which outputs stored data through
n-bit data output pins, and a built-in self test (BIST) unit. The BIST
unit writes test data in the memory, and by comparing the test data
output from the memory with expected data, determines a failure cell
address in the memory. The BIST unit generates k preliminary failure
signals having failure information indicating whether the test data
correspond with the expected data, and outputs the k preliminary failure
signals for m cycles of a clock signal, by outputting k/m preliminary
failure signals each cycle as first through k/m failure signals. In the
memory test circuit and test system, the BIST unit testing a memory and
generating a failure signal is disposed in a memory apparatus and a
failure analysis circuit analyzing a failure signal output by the BIST
unit is disposed in the test apparatus.
