Abstract
A memory device is provided for an integrated injection logic (I.sup.2 L) device in solid state form by a resistor connected at one end to the logic device, and a diode having its cathode connected to the other end of the resistor at a programming junction, and its anode connected to a common point. If the diode conductors are melted or deformed by reverse diode current from the programming junction to the common point, a low impedance path is formed, and the logic portion is provided with a first logic input. If the diode conductors are left unmelted or intact, the logic portion is provided with a second logic input.
