Zusammenfassung:The logic format of a mask ROM is composed of a user region having a plurality of blocks, a spare region having a plurality of blocks, and a table region having a plurality of blocks. When the outside data is written in the mask ROM by the control of a MPU, if there is a defective block in the user region, the defective block is replaced by a spare block in the spare region. If the spare block is defective, it is replaced by another spare block. The replacement information (address, et.) is stored in a block in the table region, and if the block of the table region is defective, it is replaced by another block. Accordingly, since a defective block in the mask ROM is replaced by another block, a defective mask ROM is relieved.
