Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A semiconductor device for determining a status of a fuse element of a memory device, comprising:
a configurable reference resistor unit having a first terminal configured to receive a first power signal and a second terminal electrically coupled with the fuse element, wherein in response to the first power signal, an evaluation signal is generated at a node between the configurable reference resistor unit and the fuse element;
a latch circuit electrically connected to the fuse element, the latch circuit configured to read the evaluation signal of the node between the configurable reference resistor unit and the fuse element;
wherein the configurable reference resistor unit further comprises a first resistor; a second resistor connected in series with the first resistor; and a first disconnect switch connected in parallel with the first resistor.
