Abstract
A method of operating an electronic device includes: generating a fuse read output based on reading a fuse cell at a predetermined data location in a fuse array, wherein the predetermined data location is configured to store predetermined data pattern; comparing the fuse read output to the predetermined data pattern; and generating a read-enable trigger based on the fuse read output matching the predetermined data pattern, wherein the read-enable trigger is for reading content stored in the fuse array and for broadcasting the content to circuits within the electronic device.
