Abstract

The utility model relates to a test device for embedded memory, belonging to the testing field of the memory. The utility model can save the area and power consumption of a chip. The embedded memory test control module of the utility model comprises an address generator, a finite state machine and a vector generator. The address generator corresponds to the memory which is deepest in the N groups of the memory modules. The vector generator corresponds to the memory which is widest in the N groups of the memory modules. When the address generator addressing to the N groups of the memory modules exceeds the depth of the address generator, the address generator sends an inhibit signal to the multi-channel selector switch of the memory module whose depth exceeds the depth of the address generator to forbid the multi-channel selector switch from sending the test vector into the memory of the memory module. Simultaneously the address generator sends the inhibit signal to a response analyzer which corresponds to the memory module whose depth exceeds the depth of the address generator to forbid the response analyzer working.
