Abstract

A method and an eFuse programming circuit for implementing resistance determination of an eFuse before initiating eFuse blow, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. An eFuse on a chip is used to set current flow through a known resistor and measure the eFuse resistance. An applied voltage to program selected eFuses on the chip is selected responsive to an identified eFuse voltage value.
