The invention relates to a fusible link configuration in or on integrated circuits, in particular highly integrated memory chips, in which in each case one bank of fusible links (F1, F2, . . . ), together with an evaluation logic unit is configured beside and in association with a memory field segment. The evaluation logic unit is electrically connected to the fusible links (F1, F2, . . . ) and determines whether one or more of the fusible links (F1, F2, . . . ) is severed. One or more banks of the fusible links (F1, F2, . . . ) are divided up into smaller units while restricting the width(s) of the bank or banks. The units are grouped such that at least some of the fusible links (F1, F2, . . . ) are located beside one another transversely with respect to the width direction of the bank.
