    Abstract: An anti-fuse system composed of a multiplicity of anti-fuse circuits (24, 26, 28, N) connected across a voltage source (10) by a pair of conductors (16, 18). Each anti-fuse circuit comprising an anti-fuse (30) connected in a series with a blow or control transistor (36) and a control circuit (44) for monitoring the status of the anti-fuse (30), Control circuit (44) provides an "on" signal to the gate (38) of control transistor (36) only when a_"select_" signal is received at an input (46) of control circuit (44) and if anti-fuse (30) has not been blown. After the anti-fuse (30) is blown, control circuit (44) turns off the control transistor (36) thereby providing a constant power source voltage across each anti-fuse circuit (24, 26, 28, N) regardless of the number of parallel anti-fuses which have been blown.

    Abstract: A read-out circuit is disclosed, where the circuit reads information out of a memory unit comprising two non-volatile memory cells. The cells have different programming states, and the memory information of the memory unit is given by the programming states of the two memory cells. The read-out circuit has a volatile signal memory, the inputs of which are connected to the read outputs of the memory cells.

    Abstract: A circuit for programming electrical fuses, in accordance with the present invention, includes a shift register including a plurality of latches. Each latch has a corresponding switch and a corresponding electrical fuse. A bit generator generates a single bit of a first state and all other bits of a second state. The bit generator propagates the generated bits into the shift register in accordance with a clock signal. Each switch enables conduction through the corresponding electrical fuse in accordance with the generated bits stored in the corresponding latch. A blow voltage line connects to the electrical fuses. The blow voltage line is activated to blow fuses in accordance with programming data such that the electrical fuses are programmed in accordance with the programming data when the single bit of the first state is stored in the latch corresponding to the fuse to be programmed.
