Abstract
A bitcell of a one-time programmable memory includes: a write-once programmable circuit element and a node connected in series between a word line and a power rail; a select read device connected between the node and a bitline, the select read device having a gate electrode connected to a first signal line extending parallel to the word line; and a select write device connected between the word line and the power rail and in series with the write-once programmable circuit element and the node, the select write device having a gate electrode connected to a second signal line extending parallel to the bitline.
Claims8
A bitcell of a one-time programmable memory comprising:
- a write-once programmable circuit element and a node connected in series between a word line and a power rail;
- a select read device connected between the node and a bitline, the select read device having a gate electrode connected to a first signal line extending substantially parallel to the word line;
- and
- a select write device connected between the word line and the power rail and in series with the write-once programmable circuit element and the node, the select write device having a gate electrode connected to a second signal line extending substantially parallel to the bitline.
