Abstract

A fuse circuit includes a fuse unit configured to drive an output terminal via a current path including a fuse in response to a fuse enable signal; and a comparison unit configured to be activated in response to an activation signal for comparing a reference voltage having a predetermined level with a voltage level of the output terminal to generate a fuse state signal.
