Abstract

The invention provides an anti-fuse memory cell state detection circuit and a memory, and the circuit comprises: a first current module, wherein the first end of which is connected with an anti-fuse memory cell array through a first node, the second end of which is connected with a second node, the first current module is used for outputting a detection current through the second node, and the detection current is related to the resistance value of a to-be-detected anti-fuse memory cell in the anti-fuse memory cell array; a second current module, wherein the first end of the second current module is connected with the first end of the reference resistor through a third node, the second end is connected with a fourth node, the second end of the reference resistor is grounded, the second current module is used for outputting reference current through the fourth node, and the reference current is related to the resistance value of the reference resistor; and a comparator, wherein the first input end of the comparator is connected with the second node, the second input end of the comparator is connected with the fourth node, and the comparator is used for detecting the storage state of the to-be-detected anti-fuse storage unit. According to the embodiment of the invention, the detection accuracy of the storage state of the anti-fuse storage unit can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to an anti-fuse memory unit state detection circuit and a memory using the circuit. Background technique [0002] One-time programmable memory (One time programmable, OTP) is widely used in various types of memory, and is used to realize redundant replacement of damaged memory cells, fine-tuning of circuit modules, and the like. The commonly used one-time programmable memory uses the breakdown or non-breakdown state of the antifuse memory cell to store information. [0003] Usually, the breakdown state of the anti-fuse memory cell is detected only through a simple logic gate circuit (such as an inverter, etc.). In the related art, an inverter is used to detect the breakdown state of the antifuse memory cell, such as figure 1 shown. If the antifuse memory unit 11 to be tested is in the state of being programmed and broken down, the path resistance will be rela...
