Patent abstract
A detect circuit may be used to detect one or more characteristics corresponding to the fuse being programmed. When the one or more characteristics of the fuse being programmed reach the desired states or values, the programming of the fuse is discontinued. Thus, the programming duration for each fuse is customized for each fuse. As a result, for some embodiments, there may be fewer fuses that have been over-programmed. In addition, for some embodiments, the range of impedances of the programmed fuses have a narrower distribution of impedances due to the use of the detect circuit.
