Abstract

See full text

A configuration memory array for a programmable logic device includes an array of configuration memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Initially, each of the configuration memory cells is reset to a reset state. Each row of configuration memory cells is coupled to a corresponding data line and data line driver. During configuration, each data line driver drives a configuration data value having a first state or a second state onto the corresponding data line. A configuration data value having the first state has a polarity that tends to flip the reset state of a configuration memory cell. A repeater cell is connected to an intermediate location of each data line. Each repeater cell improves the drive of configuration data values having the first state.
