A non-volatile memory includes word lines providing access to memory
cells, a word-line decoder applying an activation signal corresponding to
an input address to a word line, a converter reproducing the activation
signal on outputs by lowering its voltage level, and an encoding circuit
that includes transistors with a switching threshold that is lower than
the voltage level of the outputs and coupled so as to generate an output
address specific to an activated word line if this word line is the only
one activated, such that a test circuit generates an error signal if the
input address differs from the output address. In such a configuration,
the area of silicon occupied by a test circuit can be reduced.
