ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for programming an ECL PROM comprises conventional ECL row and column address circuits for selecting a particular fuse in the ECL PROM. The selection of a particular fuse in the ECL PROM generates a control signal in the address decoders corresponding thereto which enables a current drive gate and a current sink gate coupled thereto. A row program control circuit and a column program circuit are then enabled by an increase of potential applied thereto for turning on the current drive gate and the current sink gate coupled to the selected fuse. The turning on of the current drive gate and the current sink gate coupled to the selected fuse causes 50 to 10 milliamps to flow through the selected fuse, blowing the fuse.
