    摘要: A voltage divider for integrated circuits that does not include the use of resistors. In one embodiment, voltage node VDD is connected with two n-type transistors, NFET1 and NFET2, which are connected in series. NFET 1 includes a source (12), a drain (14), a gate electrode (16) having a gate area A1 (not shown), and a p-substrate (18). NFET2 includes a source (20), a drain (22), a gate electrode (24) having a gate area A2 (not shown), and a p-substrate (26). Source (12) and drain (14) of NFET1 are coupled with gate electrode (24) of NFET2. The voltage difference between NFET1 and NFET2 has a linear function with VDD. As a result, voltage VDD may be divided between NFET1 and NFET2 by properly choosing the ratio between each of the respective transistor gate electrode areas, (A1) and (A2).

    摘要: An antifuse device (120) that includes a bias element (124) and an programmable antifuse element (128) arranged in series with one another so as to form a voltage divider having an output node (F) located between the bias and antifuse elements. When the antifuse device is in its unprogrammed state, each of the bias element and antifuse element is non-conductive. When the antifuse device is in its programmed state, the bias element remains non-conductive, but the antifuse element is conductive. The difference in the resistance of the antifuse element between its unprogrammed state and programmed state causes the difference in voltages seen at the output node to be on the order of hundreds of mili-volts when a voltage of 1 V is applied across the antifuse device. This voltage difference is so high that it can be readily sensed using a simple sensing circuit (228).

    摘要: A programmable element that has a first diode having an electrode and a first insulator disposed between the substrate and said electrode of said first device, said first insulator having a first value of a given characteristic, and an FET having an electrode and a second insulator disposed between the substrate and said electrode of said second device, said second insulator having a second value of said given characteristic that is different from said first value. The electrodes of the diode and the FET are coupled to one another, and a source of programming energy is coupled to the diode to cause it to permanently decrease in resistivity when programmed. The programmed state of the diode is indicated by a current in the FET, which is read by a sense latch. Thus a small resistance change in the diode translates to a large signal gain/change in the latch. This allows the diode to be programmed at lower voltages.

    摘要: The embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus, method, etc. for a non volatile memory RAD-hard (NVM-rh) system. More specifically, an IC permanent non-volatile storage element comprises an integrated semiconductor stable reference component, wherein the component is resistant to external radiation. The storage element further comprises e-fuse structures in the component and a sensing circuit coupled to the e-fuse structures. The sensing circuit is adapted to update an external device at a specified time interval to reduce incidence of soft errors and errors due to power failure. Moreover, the sensing circuit is adapted to cease updating the external device to program the e-fuse structures; and, continue updating the external device after programming the e-fuse structures.
