    Abstract: A dual-mode PMOS transistor is disclosed that has a first mode of operation in which a switched n-well for the dual-mode PMOS transistor is biased to a high voltage. The dual-mode PMOS transistor has a second mode of operation in which the switched n-well is biased to a low voltage that is lower than the high voltage. The dual-mode PMOS transistor has a size and gate-oxide thickness each having a magnitude that cannot accommodate a permanent tie to the high voltage. An n-well voltage switching circuit biases the switched n-well to prevent voltage damage to the dual-mode PMOS transistor despite its relatively small size and thin gate-oxide thickness.

    Abstract: A fuse-based memory includes a plurality of bit lines. Each bit lines couples to a corresponding plurality of fuses. The fuses couple to ground through corresponding access transistors. The memory is configured to precharge an accessed one of the bit lines and a reference one of the bit lines using a low voltage supply. In contrast, a resulting voltage difference between the accessed bit line and the reference bit line is sensed using a sense amplifier powered by a high voltage supply, wherein a high voltage supplied by the high power supply is greater than a low voltage supplied by the low voltage supply.
