  • Publication number: 20020175711
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for preserving voltage levels in a logic circuit wherein the system preferably includes a precharge circuit for raising a voltage of first connection points, which are preferably drains, of at least two transistors to a logical high level. Preferably, a plurality of electrically separate interstitial nodes are provided within the logic circuit. Each interstitial node is preferably connected to a second connection point, which is preferably a source, of at least one of the transistors. Preferably, a transistor or other switching mechanism is interposed between each of the interstitial nodes and electrical ground for selectively establishing a connection to ground during an evaluate state or phase of a logic circuit and establishing an open circuit during a precharge state or phase of the logic circuit.

  • Patent number: 6433405
    Abstract: An integrated circuit having programmable fuse provisions separate from critical circuitry, for storing chip specific operational information necessary for proper integrated circuit operation. These separate provisions include a fuse block which contains the programmable fuse. The fuse block is positioned adjacent to a current source input which is used to provide current to the programmable fuse for purposes of programming the programmable fuse with the chip specific operational information.
