    Abstract: Has logic circuit (40') of NON-OR-EXCLUSIVE type with temporary memory elements (10,20). Respective outputs of all columns of logic circuits are connected to a result line (MATCH) pre-loaded to first state. A logic circuit (40) executes an OR-EXCLUSIVE function and NON-OR-EXCLUSIVE function for states contained in temporary memory elements. The respective results of logic combinations are used to maintain or not pre-loaded state on complementary input-output lines of column. Volatile memory circuit having a number of memory cells (3) in a matrix network, and associated with each column of the network is at least a pair of temporary memory elements (10,20) independently controlled, one from the other. Associated with each pair of temporary memory elements is a logic circuit (40,40') dedicated to memory circuit testing and combing the respective states of the temporary memory elements. The logic circuits are activated by a control signal (TEST') for switching to test mode. Independent Claims are included for - the test method.
