Abstract
A programmable semiconductor device capable of being selectively programmed to perform one or more logic functions includes a first region, second region, first regional power control ('RPC'), and second-to-first power control connection. The first region, in one embodiment, contains first configurable logic blocks ('CLBs') able to be selectively programmed to perform a first logic function. The second region includes a group of second CLBs configured to be selectively programmed to perform a second logic function. The first RPC port or inter-chip port which is coupled between the first and second regions facilitates dynamic power supply to the first region in response to the data in the second region. The second-to-first power control connection is used to allow the second region to facilitate and/or control power to the first region.
