    Abstract: A memory device comprises a plurality of independent memory sectors, external address signal inputs (2) for receiving external address signals (A0-A17) for addressing individual memory locations of the memory device, the external address signals (A0-A17) comprising external memory sector address signals (A12-A17) allowing for individually addressing each memory sector, and a memory sector selection means (11) for selecting one of the plurality of memory sectors according to a value of the external memory sector address signals (A12-A17). A first and a second alternative internal memory sector address signal paths (6,7) are provided for supplying the external memory sector address signals (A12-A17) to the memory sector selection means (11), the first path (6) providing no logic inversion and the second path (7) providing logic inversion. Programmable means (12) allows for activating either one or the other of the first and second internal memory sector address signal paths (6,7), so that a position of each memory sector in a space of values (00000h - 3FFFFh) of the external address signals (A0-A17) can be changed by activating either one or the other of the first and second internal memory sector address signal paths (6,7).

    Abstract: An autotesting method of a cells matrix of a memory device is disclosed which comprises the steps of:

    reading the values contained in a plurality of the memory cells;
    comparing the read values with reference values;
    signalling mismatch of the read values with the reference values as an error situation; and
    storing the error situations.

    In the autotesting method, the reading, comparing, signalling, and storing steps are repeated for all the memory cells in an matrix column.
    The autotesting method according to the invention further comprises the steps of:

    storing the addresses of any columns having at least one error situation; and
    repeating all the preceding steps according to a step of scanning all the matrix columns.

    Advantageously according to the invention, all said steps are internally realized in the memory device.
    Also disclosed is a memory device with a autotesting architecture, which device is adapted to implement the autotesting method according to the invention.
