ABSTRACT:
A redundant fuse circuit for enabling a redundant memory cell to replace a defective memory cell in a semiconductor memory device is shown where the redundant fuse circuit includes a selection fuse coupled between a precharging device of the redundant fuse circuit and a power supply terminal. When the redundant fuse circuit is unused, the selection fuse is configured to be cut by a laser beam thereby preventing precharging of the redundant fuse circuit and, consequently, preventing an instantaneous peak current from occurring responsive to input to the redundant fuse circuit of memory cell address information corresponding to normal memory cells.
