Claim 0:
1. A method for accessing at least one resistive change element operable as an antifuse, said method comprising:
selecting at least one resistive change element from a plurality of resistive change elements, wherein each resistive change element in said plurality of resistive change elements is operable as an antifuse that remains in a high resistive state until adjusted to a low resistive state, and wherein a resistance of said low resistive state is less than a resistance of said high resistive state;
selecting an amount of current, wherein said amount of current is selected from a plurality of amounts of current, and wherein each amount of current in said plurality of amounts of current is based on operating said at least one resistive change element as an antifuse;
supplying said amount of current; and
determining a resistive state of each of said at least one resistive change element based on a resistance of that resistive change element and said amount of current.
