Abstract
A programmable system for storage of one-time programmable information comprises an interface translator and a one-time programmable device. The interface translator receives and translates a command code to program code comprising a sequence of write instructions and a designated data block. The one-time programmable device is coupled to the interface translator, programmed by the write instructions to store the designated data block. The one-time programmable device can only be programmed once, such that the designated data block being stored is fully protected.
