General Description
The IP-block represents a one-time programmable (OTP) memory device consisting of a
combination of a static RAM and a permanent storage of data using eFuse bit cells.
During operation the data is stored in the static RAM cell. Read/Write operations are performed on
the block just as for a static RAM block. There are special operating modes available to store the
data permanently into the PolyFuse element (burning operation mode) and to transfer data from the
PolyFuse element into the static RAM cell (load operating mode).
The memory is modularly organized and can be adapted from 1byte up to 16bytes in 1byte steps.
Each bit cell is driving a parallel output signal (pout), which can be directly used for trimming
purpose. For burn operation an optional Vburn Switch is needed to access the high burn voltage.
An 8bit DataIO block and a modular Address Decoder together with the memory bytes are building
a macro block which is controlled by a Special Function Register (SFR) logic block. This SFR is
available as Verilog code and flexible to be used embedded into the digital logic of the rest of the
chip. An Auto-load operation can be asynchronously triggered by an external POR signal.
No additional power supply for fuse operation is required; the supply has to be able to drive a
current of maximum 100mA for the burning time by using an external capacitance for stabilization.
