Abstract

A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support post reset fuse reload for latency reduction. First, values of fuses are read once and stored into one or more load registers on an electronic device, wherein the load registers are protected. Once the values of the fuse are loaded into the load registers, a valid indicator of the load registers is set indicating that the values have been successfully loaded into the load registers. When other components of the electronic device need to access these values, the other components will check the load registers first. If it is determined that the valid indicator of the load registers is set, the stored values are read from the load registers instead of from the fuses. If the valid indicator of the load registers is not set, the values are loaded again from the fuses into the load registers.
