Abstract
A high density, low voltage, and low-power one time programmable (OTP) memory is based on core cells with a one transistor design. A CLEAN pulse is directed to a single shunt device at the output of the column decoder so spurious charges that may have been stored in the floating nodes can be cleaned up. Such arrangement also allows for the simultaneous initialization of bit lines, data lines, and sensing lines to zero. Core area layout size is substantially reduced, and operational power requirements are exceeding low making these particularly suitable in HF and UHF RFID applications.
