Abstract

An OTP memory includes a plurality of bitcells, a plurality of bitlines, each bitline coupled to the plurality of bitcells, and a wordline generation circuit coupled to each of the plurality of bitcells. The wordline generation circuit is configured to control a wordline voltage of at least one selected bitcell of the plurality of bitcells to discharge current of at least one bitline coupled to the at least one selected bitcell during a pre-conditioning phase and to perform a read operation of the at least one selected bitcell following the pre-conditioning phase in a same clock cycle.
