Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide improved techniques for loading of configuration memory cells in integrated circuits, such as programmable logic devices. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a programmable logic device includes a non-volatile memory adapted to store a first bit, a second bit, and a plurality of configuration data; a plurality of configuration memory cells; and control logic adapted to determine based on values of the first and second bits whether to load the configuration data from the non-volatile memory into the configuration memory cells.
