Abstract:
The invention provides a code generating apparatus and an OTP memory block. The code generating apparatus of present disclosure includes a plurality of first one time programming (OTP) memory cells, a reference signal provider and a sense amplifier. The first OTP memory cells are coupled to a first bit line. The reference signal provider provides a reference signal. Wherein, at least one of the first OTP memory cells provides a read current to the first bit line, and the sense amplifier compares the read current and the reference signal to generate an output code. A current value of the reference signal is set within a range, and the range is set by the bit current corresponding to a maximum bit count, such as that the output code is determined by a manufacturing variation of the at least one first OTP memory cell.

Claim (Index 2):
The code generating apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein two of the OTP memory cells in different OTP memory cell strings respectively provides two read currents to the selected bit lines, and the sense amplifier generates the output code by comparing the read currents.
