The present invention relates to a write and read circuit for an anti-fuse non-volatile memory, and especially for an OTP (one-time-program) NOI (Non-overlapped implementation) MOSFET memory device. The NOI MOSFET memory device can be written with a programming bit by using anti-fuse technique through the write circuit of the present invention. To accomplish the bit-programming process, the write circuit applies a high voltage to the Drain terminal of the NOI MOSFET memory device for carrying out a punch through breakdown between the Drain terminal and the Source terminal of the NOI MOSFET memory device, and then the programming bit is written into a side wall adjacent the gate terminal of the NOI MOSFET memory device. Therefore, the programming bit stored in the NOI MOSFET memory device can also be read out by using the read circuit of the present invention.
A write and read circuit for anti-fuse non-volatile memory used for treating a bit-writing operation and/or a bit-reading operation to a NOI (non-overlapped implementation) MOSFET device, wherein the NOI MOSFET device at least has a NOI gate side, a NOI drain side and a NOI source side, and the write and read circuit comprising:
