Configuration for fuse initialization

A configuration for fuse initialization, comprising:

• a plurality of latches;
• a plurality of fuse banks, each one of said plurality of said fuse banks having a plurality of fuses storing redundant information, each one of said plurality of said fuses associated with a respective one of said plurality of said latches;
• a generator device for generating a plurality of initialization signals which are used for reading said plurality of said fuses, said plurality of initialization signals including a first initialization signal and a second initialization signal;
• a plurality of first lines and a plurality of second lines;
• and
• a memory cell array having four quadrants, each one of said quadrants having edges that are adjacent to others of said quadrants;
• each one of said plurality of said fuse banks located along a respective one of said edges of one of said quadrants;
• each one of said plurality of said fuse banks serially receiving the first initialization signal from a respective one of said first lines and the second initialization signal from a respective one of said second lines;
• said respective one of said first lines and said respective one of said second lines being different lines;
• and
• said respective one of said first lines and said respective one of said second lines each having a beginning and an end at which ones of the plurality of the initialization signals are delayed.
