An integrated circuit (IC) includes a micro control unit (MCU), a one-time programmable (OTP) memory directly connected with the MCU, an electrical charge pump having an output port and an enable port connected to the MCU, and a switching circuit having a control port connected to the MCU, a first input port connected to the output port of the electrical charge pump, a second input port connected to a power source of the MCU, and an output port connected to the OTP memory to provide an operating voltage and a recording voltage for the OTP memory. Because the OTP memory can choose the operating voltage or the recording voltage, a measuring apparatus using this IC doesn't need an external power source to provide a VDD voltage being 5.8 volts. Therefore, a power consuming of the IC can be reduced.
An integrated circuit (IC) with a self-proofreading function, comprising:
A measuring apparatus with a self-proofreading function, comprising a sensor;
