Summary:This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-005561, filed Jan. 12, 2001, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The output terminal of a voltage generation circuit is connected to one end portion of a fuse circuit. A transistor is connected to the other end portion of the fuse circuit. In program mode, a voltage generated from the voltage generation circuit is applied to the fuse circuit and a current flows through the fuse circuit and the transistor. In verify mode, a current generated from the voltage generation circuit flows into a pad through a selected fuse circuit and a detection circuit.
