Abstract
A programmable semiconductor integrated circuit constructed as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) comprises basic cells each comprised of; a first stable circuit having first and second nodes and operative to respectively output, in the steady state, power supply potential and ground potential from the first and second nodes; a second stable circuit having third and fourth nodes and operative to respectively output, in the steady state, ground potential and power supply potential from the third and fourth nodes; and a control circuit for selectively connecting any one of a node pair comprised of the first and second nodes of the first stable circuit and a node pair comprised of the third and fourth nodes of the second stable circuit, or the both node pairs to first and second bit lines.
