Abstract
In one embodiment, a programmable logic device for recovery from soft error upsets (SEUs) includes: a configuration memory operable to store configuration data; a configuration engine operable to configure the configuration memory; an error detection circuit operable to determine if the stored configuration data in the configuration memory has an error; and a configuration reset circuit operable to trigger the configuration engine to reconfigure the configuration memory if the error detection circuit detects the error.
