Integrated circuit having provisions for remote storage of chip specific operating parameters

摘要

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.
