Asynchronous eFuse memory (efuse_async_mem)

Module efuse_async_mem

Diagram

Description

This is a small digital wrapper around the Basic asynchronous eFuse array block (efuse_array_async) which automatically reads eFuse bits into latches once after reset deassertion.

It’s recommended to connect reset_n signal to the active-low POR reset to protect fuses during a power-up.

To write the eFuse it’s enough to set the corresponding bits on the prog bus high for at least 50 us (Tprog). Updated data will be latched after the next reset.

alt text

eFuse bits are latched to out bus no later than after 10 ns (Tready) after reset deassertion. Data readiness will be marked by the ready signal going high.
