Abstract
The output terminal of a voltage generation circuit is connected to one end portion of a fuse circuit. A transistor is connected to the other end portion of the fuse circuit. In program mode, a voltage generated from the voltage generation circuit is applied to the fuse circuit and a current flows through the fuse circuit and the transistor. In verify mode, a current generated from the voltage generation circuit flows into a pad through a selected fuse circuit and a detection circuit.
