  "term": "eFuse",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A programmable, non-volatile memory element integrated directly into a semiconductor chip, designed to permanently alter circuit behavior or store configuration data. It functions as a microscopic, electrically blown fuse that, once programmed, cannot be reset. This technology is used for device identification, security features, calibration data storage, and trimming analog circuits. eFuses are programmed by applying a precise current pulse to melt a conductive link, creating an open circuit.",
