    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose an OTP low power circuit and methods for providing bias voltages using a single regulator. The circuit includes a Bitcell, a diode drop, a charge pump, a combinational logic controller, a program current sink load, and a read current sink load. The Bitcell includes programmable word lines and read lines, and is configured to operate in either a programmable mode or a read mode. The diode drop is configured to provide a second bias voltage to drive the read lines and the single regulator is configured to provide a first bias voltage to drive the WP in the read mode. The charge pump is configured to provide a third bias voltage to drive the WP in the program mode.
