Semiconductor memory tester

1. A semiconductor memory tester for determining pass or fail on a memory device under test, said semiconductor memory tester comprising:

a measurement division having a plurality of timing generators, said measurement division for comparing an output from the memory device under test with an expected value at timing on the basis of a clock outputted by the memory device under test;

wherein the measurement division comprises:

comparators for receiving output data of the memory device under test, respectively,

sampling units for sampling respective outputs from the corresponding comparators on the basis of a timing for comparison, and

fail detectors for comparing respective outputs of the sampling units with the expected value at the timing signal outputted by the respective one of the plurality of the timing generators before determining pass or fail on the memory device under test.

2. The semiconductor memory tester according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement division comprises variable delay elements for setting delay time clocking of the output data of the memory device under test, respectively.

3. The semiconductor memory tester according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement division comprises a frequency dividing means for frequency-dividing the clock outputted by the memory device under test to thereby generate the timing for the comparison.

4. The semiconductor memory tester according to claim 1 , wherein the memory device under test internally generates the clock.
