10.10 OTP_MK Mark Layer¶
This layer is used to mark 3.3V OTP cells. OTP cells with this marking layer should follow below specific rules which is different from 3.3V/(5V)6V rules.

Note
* Rules allowed minimum overlap and spacing are 0, so DRC deck will not check those rules 1. Rule of 5V OTP is set by utilizing “V5_XTOR” and “OTP_MK” marking layer
