A pair of access control circuits having bit line pairs wired corresponds to a same data terminal and is assigned different addresses. During a test mode, a data swap circuit prohibits swapping of connections between a pair of data terminals and a pair of data lines when one of the access control circuits is used, and swaps the connections between a pair of data terminals and a pair of data lines when the other one of the access control circuits is used. Accordingly, it is possible to give a data signal at the same logic level to bit lines with different logics from each other. Stress can be given between a contact arranged between a pair of the access control circuits and bit lines adjacent to both sides of the contact. Consequently, designing of a test pattern can be simplified, and test efficiency can be improved.
