Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for measuring the resistance of a programmed antifuse in an integrated circuit is integrated on the same integrated circuit as the antifuse and is controlled by a programming circuit disposed on an integrated circuit and comprises a first voltage sensing transistor having a first drain/source electrically connected to a first I/O pad, a gate electrically connected to the programming circuit, and a second drain/source electrically connected to a first electrode of the antifuse, and a second voltage sensing transistor having a first drain/source electrically connected to a second I/O pad, a gate electrically connected to the programming circuit, and a second drain/source electrically connected to a second electrode of the antifuse.
