Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve performance while reading a one-time programmable memory. An example apparatus includes: a voltage boost circuit including a first output, a second output, a first input configured to be coupled to a controller, a second input coupled to a first output of a decoder, a third input coupled to a second output of the decoder; and a multiplexer including a first input coupled to the first output of the voltage boost circuit, a second input coupled to the second output of the voltage boost circuit, a third input coupled to an array of memory, and an output coupled to a sensing circuit.
