Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor circuit for determining a status of a fuse element of a memory device, the semiconductor circuit 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 first switching circuit electrically connected to the configurable reference resistor unit and the fuse element; and
a latch circuit electrically connected to the fuse element through the first switching circuit, 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.
