Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for storing redundancy repair information for memories are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a fuse array, a repair plane, and a decode logic and control circuit. The fuse array stores repair information that includes repair commands and load repair addresses. The load repair addresses include a respective repair address. The repair plane includes a block of memory and repair logic. The block of memory includes a plurality of redundant memory and the repair logic includes a plurality of repair blocks. Each repair block is associated with a respective one of the plurality of redundant memory and each repair block of the plurality of repair blocks stores a repair address. The decode logic and control circuit reads the repair information and decodes the repair commands, and loads repair addresses into the plurality of repair blocks based at least in part on the decoded repair commands.
