ABSTRACT:
A programmable latch circuit (100) can include a programmable data circuit (104) with a data load path (116) that can enable a data value to be recalled into a volatile latch (102). A data load path (116) can be formed with devices (P100-P102) having low threshold voltages. Data can be loaded via data load path at lower power supply voltages levels, such as on power-on and/or reset operations. Other embodiments disclose, self-test circuits, full redundancy capabilities, and resistors for limiting current draw in an anti-fuse program operation.
