Abstract

An anti-fuse sensing device and an operation method thereof are provided. The anti-fuse sensing device is adapted for sensing a resistance state of an anti-fuse. The anti-fuse sensing device includes a voltage generating circuit, a comparison circuit, and a sensing circuit. The voltage generating circuit is configured to generate a comparison voltage that changes with temperature. The comparison circuit is coupled to the voltage generating circuit to receive the comparison voltage. The comparison circuit is configured to compare the comparison voltage with a reference voltage, and convert a difference between the comparison voltage and the reference voltage into a bias voltage that changes with temperature. The sensing circuit is coupled to the comparison circuit to receive the bias voltage. The sensing circuit is configured to sense the resistance state of the anti-fuse according to the bias voltage.
