Abstract
An antifuse memory device includes an antifuse memory cell, a reference current generation unit, and a comparison unit. The antifuse memory cell includes an antifuse. The reference current generation unit provides a reference current selected from a plurality of reference currents. The comparison unit compares an intensity of a cell current flowing through the antifuse with an intensity of the reference current and provides an output signal corresponding to a result of the comparison.
