ABSTRACT:
A system with a repairable memory array having redundant memory cells to replace one or more defective memory cells that are detected after fabrication. The system also includes non memory array circuits having circuitry that may adjust one or more operating parameters such as operating current, operating voltage, resistance, capacitance, timing characteristics and an operating mode. A set of one time programmable elements can be used to selectively store information for modifying operating parameters and replacing the defective memory cells with redundant memory cells.
