Abstract
A control circuit applied in an e-fuse system selectively operates in a feeding mode and a reading mode. When the control circuit operates in the feeding mode, the control circuit is arranged to store a program code for indicating whether to connect a fuse of the e-fuse system thereto; and when the control circuit operates in the reading mode, the control circuit is arranged to read a state of the fuse of the e-fuse system coupled to the control circuit.
