ABSTRACT:
To monitor the state of an antifuse capacitor, a transistor is connected to the capacitor such that it saturates only when the capacitor is not blown. Monitoring the base current of the transistor allows the state of the capacitor to be monitored without needing to use a conventional high-voltage comparator.
