ABSTRACT:
A programmable logic integrated circuit has user-accessible nonvolatile memory for use by the programmable logic. In a specific embodiment, the programmable logic integrated circuit has a programmable logic array portion and a nonvolatile memory array portion. The nonvolatile memory array portion is segregated into a boot data part and a user data partition. The boot data partition holds data for configuring the programmable logic portion on power up, and the user data partition is for use by the programmable logic. A user can store and retrieve data from the user data partition. A built-in oscillator can be programmably connected from the nonvolatile memory portion to the PLD portion.
