ABSTRACT:
The invention features a circuit wherein a serially connected transistor and anti-fuse element are biased for current to flow in a first direction or the current flows in the first direction during a programming operation and biased for a current to flow in a second direction or current is flowing in the second direction during a normal circuit operation, such as a read operation, wherein the first and second directions are opposite of one another. Thus the invention facilitates the use of a low programming potential while minimizing leakage current.
