ABSTRACT:
A trim fuse circuit includes a metal fuse, a trim pad coupled to the first end of the metal fuse, a first transistor coupled to the first end of the metal fuse, a second transistor coupled to the second end of the metal fuse, an inverter coupled to the second end of the metal fuse, a switch coupled to the second end of the metal fuse, and a common trim pad coupled to the control end of the switch. The inverter outputs a data signal according to the status of the metal fuse. The trim pad can be disposed on the scribe line of a wafer. When the trim pad is cut and accordingly connects to the substrate of the wafer, the data signal is not affected.
