Abstract
A circuit configuration for driving a programmable link, for example a fuse, is specified, having a drive circuit for driving the fuse in a manner dependent on a signal present at the data input, and also a volatile memory, whose output is preferably directly connected to the data input of the drive circuit. A circuit configuration for particularly fast and simple programming of fuses, in particular electrically programmable fuses, is thereby specified.
