Abstract:
A readout circuit with a self-detection circuit and a control method therefor. The circuit comprises a pre-charging circuit and a control circuit, the pre-charging circuit and the control circuit being connected to a first node and used for charging a memory unit. The readout circuit also comprises a detection circuit, the detection circuit and the pre-charging circuit being connected to the first node. The detection circuit comprises a third NOT gate, a fourth NOT gate, a first NAND gate, a sixth NOT gate, a first trigger and an eighth NOT gate. In such a manner of detecting the reversal of the first NOT gate through the reversal of the third NOT gate, the charging duration of the first node (A) can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the reading duration of the whole circuit. At the same time, the re-occurrence of a state of charging the circuit can be avoided after pre-charging has ended.
Abstract:
A method of producing a Macro Read Only Memory (MROM) memory based on a One Time Programmable (OTP) memory is provided. The method includes: removing a floating gate of a second P-type Metal Oxide Semiconductor (PMOS) transistor of an OTP memory cell for storing data “0” in an OTP memory map, such that the OTP memory cell being transferred to a MROM memory cell for storing data “0”, and retaining an original structure of the OTP memory cell for storing data “1” in the OTP memory map, such that the original structure being used as a MROM memory cell for storing data “1”, thus forming a MROM memory map; and producing a MROM memory according to a MROM memory map. The OTP memory map is debugged to determine data which can be changed into the MROM memory map, and an OTP process can be transferred into a MROM process by adjusting only one mask during a producing process.

According to the present invention, the OTP memory map which is debugged and has determined data can be changed into the MROM memory map, and the OTP process can be transferred into the MROM process by adjusting only one mask during the producing process. The present invention greatly saves the time and cost of the device programming and testing, thus simplifying the process and saving the cost, increasing the profit.
