According to embodiments of the present invention, circuits have elements to protect a high-voltage transistor in a gate dielectric antifuse circuit. An antifuse has a layer of gate dielectric between a first terminal coupled to receive an elevated voltage and a second terminal, and a high-voltage transistor is coupled to the antifuse and has a gate terminal. An intermediate voltage between the supply voltage and the elevated voltage is coupled to the gate terminal of the high-voltage transistor to protect the high-voltage transistor.
