Abstract
Provided are a semiconductor device including a fuse and a method of operating the same. The semiconductor device includes a fuse array, a first register unit, and a second register unit. The fuse array includes a plurality of rows and columns. The first register unit receives at least one row of fuse data from the fuse array. Fuse data of the at least one row of fuse data is received in parallel by the first register unit. The second register unit receives the fuse data at least one bit at a time from the first register unit.
