A semiconductor memory device having a test control circuit includes a
cell array, a BIST (built-in self test) circuit adapted and configured to
perform a BIST operation on the cell array, a BISR (built-in self repair)
circuit adapted and configured to perform a BISR operation on the cell
array, and a command decoder adapted and configured to generate a first
control signal for selecting a BIST operation by the BIST circuit or a
test by an external tester and a second control signal for controlling a
BISR operation by the BISR circuit. As a result, a test by an external
tester, a BIST (built-in self test) and a BISR (built-in self repair) are
individually performed in response to an additional command signal.
