Claim:
1. A discrete three-dimensional one-time-programmable memory (3D-OTP), comprising: a 3D-array die comprising at least a 3D-OTP array, wherein said 3D-OTP array comprises a plurality of vertically stacked 3D-OTP cells; a peripheral-circuit die comprising at least an off-die A/D-translator of said 3D-OTP array, wherein said off-die A/D-translator converts at least an address and/or data between logic and physical spaces; means for coupling said 3D-array die and said peripheral-circuit die; wherein the number of back-end-of-line (BEOL) levels in said 3D-array die is at least twice as much as the number of interconnect levels in said peripheral-circuit die; said off-die A/D-translator is absent from said 3D-array die; and, said 3D-array die and said peripheral-circuit die are separate dice.
