Abstract: An integrated eFUSE device is formed by forming a silicon “floating beam” on air, whereupon the fusible portion of the eFUSE device resides. This beam extends between two larger, supporting terminal structures. “Undercutting” techniques are employed whereby a structure is formed atop a buried layer, and that buried layer is removed by selective etching. Whereby a “floating” silicide eFUSE conductor is formed on a silicon beam structure. In its initial state, the eFUSE silicide is highly conductive, exhibiting low electrical resistance (the “unblown state of the eFUSE). When a sufficiently large current is passed through the eFUSE conductor, localized heating occurs. This heating causes electromigration of the silicide into the silicon beam (and into surrounding silicon, thereby diffusing the silicide and greatly increasing its electrical resistance. When the current source is removed, the silicide remains permanently in this diffused state, the “blown” state of the eFUSE.

Abstract: Multiple cyclic redundancy check (CRC) engines for checking/appending CRCs during data transfers. Two distinctly implemented CRC engines are employed to enable the processing of different sized byte formats at two ends of a communication channel. These two distinctly implemented CRC engines can be employed to enable the processing of different sized byte formats in a host device at one end and an hard disk drive (HDD) at another end. For example, sometimes the size of blocks, frames, and/or sector sizes that are processed and employed within a first communication device at one end of a communication channel can differ from the size of blocks, frames, and/or sector sizes that are processed and employed within a second communication device at another end of the communication channel. Two distinctly implemented CRC engines allow the appropriate processing and translation of any desired different sized blocks, frames, and/or sector sizes of a communication channel.
