An integrated memory has a memory cell array containing word lines and bit lines. The bit lines, for reading out a data signal, can in each case be connected to a sense amplifier via a controllable switching device. Furthermore, a control circuit is contained, having an output, which is connected to a control input of the respective switching device, and having an input, which is connected to a terminal for a test mode signal. The control circuit is configured in such a way that, within an access cycle, the respective switching device can be switched into a non-conducting state on account of an active state of the test mode signal. In the integrated memory, it is possible to measure the leakage behavior of a bit line during the read-out of a data signal.
