  • Patent number: 7560965
    Abstract: A circuit has a master latch having an input for receiving an input data signal, and an output. A slave latch has a first input coupled to the output of the master latch, and an output for providing an output data signal. A non-volatile storage element stores a predetermined value. The non-volatile storage element has an output coupled to the first input of the slave latch. The output data signal corresponds to one of either the input data signal or the predetermined value stored by the non-volatile storage element in response to a control signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7369452
    Abstract: A device having an OTP memory is disclosed. A program state of the OTP device is stored at a fuse that is connected in series between a first node and a latch. During a program mode, the first node is electrically connected to a program voltage. During a read mode, the first node is electrically connected to ground, whereby a first divided voltage is generated at a first node of the latch.

  • Patent number: 6122203
    Abstract: A circuit and method comprising a memory, a first latch, a second latch and a control circuit. The memory may be configured to write information in response to (i) an input data signal and (ii) an address signal. The first latch may be configured to hold the address in response to a control signal. The second latch may be configured to hold the data input signal in response to the control signal. The control circuit may be configured to present the control signal in response to (i) an enable signal and (ii) a detect signal.
