Abstract

A one-time programmable (OTP) memory device includes an OTP cell array, a latch controller, a column selection circuit, and a latch circuit. The OTP cell array includes a plurality of OTP memory cells respectively connected to a plurality of bitlines. The latch controller generates a latch address signal indicating an address that is changed sequentially in an enable mode to initialize the OTP memory device. The column selection circuit electrically connects a plurality of bitline groups of the bitlines to a plurality of input-output lines sequentially based on the latch address signal in the enable mode. The latch circuit receives and stores fuse bits provided sequentially through the bitline groups and the input-output lines in the enable mode.
