  • Patent number: 11309057
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for post-package repair (PPR) protection. A device may enter a PPR mode to repair one or more memory addresses by blowing fuses. However, fuses may be incorrectly blown if the device receives row activation (ACT) signals while in the PPR mode. A PPR mask circuit may provide a PPR mask signal if an ACT signal is received while the memory is in the PPR mode. The PPR mask signal may suppress further ACT signals from being provided. In some embodiments, the memory may also include a PPR function circuit, which may monitor one or more signals used as part of PPR operations. If these signals are in an illegal state, the PPR function circuit may suppress PPR operations to prevent damage to the fuse array.
