Abstract:
A method of operating an electronic device includes: precharging a fuse read node to an intermediate voltage less than an input voltage, wherein the fuse read node connects a fuse array and a fuse read circuit, the fuse array including a fuse cell configured to store information and the fuse read circuit configured to read the stored information; connecting the fuse cell to the fuse read node for reading the information; and determining, with the fuse read circuit, the information from the fuse cell based on changes to the intermediate voltage at the fuse read node.
