Integrated circuit including a fusing circuit capable for protecting a fusing spark

Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a first inner circuit including at least one first semiconductor device, a second inner circuit including at least one second semiconductor device, and a fusing circuit connected between the first inner circuit and the second inner circuit to perform a fusing operation which electrically disconnects the first inner circuit from the second inner circuit through a fusing voltage. The fusing circuit bypasses a spark current occurring during the fusing operation to a ground power source so as not to flow the spark current into the first inner circuit and the second inner circuit.
