Method for activating fuse units in electronic circuit device

Method for activating fuse units (101a-101n) in an electronic circuit device (100) in order to modify a circuit design for the electronic circuit device (100), in which at least one fuse addressing unit (102) and at least one fuse activation unit (103) cooperate, having the following steps:

• a) an electronic circuit device (100) in which fuse units (101a-101n) can be activated is selected;
• b) those fuse units (101a-101n) in the selected electronic circuit device (100) which can be activated in order to modify the circuit design for the electronic circuit device (100) are determined;
• c) the fuse units (101a-101n) which can be activated in order to modify the circuit design for the electronic circuit device (100) are addressed using fuse addressing units (102a-102n);
• d) an activation state of the fuse units (101a-101n) which can be activated in order to modify the circuit design for the electronic circuit device (100) is stipulated;
• and
• e) the fuse units (101a-101n) addressed using the fuse addressing units (102a-102n) are activated using fuse activation units (103a-103n) in line with the stipulated activation state.
