Abstract
A system, method and program product for adjusting an environmental variable of a fuse blow of an electronic fuse are disclosed. A mimic NFET is coupled to a fuse blow source voltage line, a fuse blow gate voltage line, and a chip ground in the same manner as the electronic fuse, except that the mimic NFET is not attached to a poly fuse link. The on current (ion) and off current (ioff) of the mimic NFET are measured to determine a blow current of the electronic fuse. The environmental variable is adjusted based on the determined blow current.
