Abstract: A one-time-programmable (OTP) module includes OTP memory and OTP input/output (I/O) that performs error correction operations. The OTP module may be used in a data communications system. The error correction operations operate according to one of a plurality of supported coding schemes. In one embodiment, the error correction operations are based upon Hamming code operations. The coding scheme employed by the error correction operations is set by a code control input. The code control input is chosen based upon the inherent quality of the OTP memory. The OTP module may thus be incorporated into any of a variety of processes, each of which has its own OTP memory quality.
