ABSTRACT:
The present invention proposes a Field Programmable Gate Array device comprising a plurality of configurable electrical connections, a plurality of controlled switches, each one adapted to activating/de-activating at least one respective electrical connection in response to a switch control signal and a control unit including an arrangement of a plurality of control cells. Each control cells controls at least one of said controlled switches by the respective switch control signal, each control cell including a volatile storage element adapted to storing in a volatile way a control logic value corresponding to a preselected status of the at least one controlled switch, and providing to the controlled switch said switch control signal corresponding to the stored logic value. Each control cell further includes a non-volatile storage element coupled to the volatile storage element, the non-volatile storage element being adapted to storing in a non-volatile way the control logic value.
