Abstract

A non-volatile memory device includes a first metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device coupled to a bit line and a word line and a second CMOS device coupled to the first CMOS device. The second CMOS device is also coupled to a complementary bit line and a complementary word line. The first and second CMOS devices are complementary to one another. An output node is coupled between the first CMOS device and the second CMOS device. A method of programming a non-volatile field programmable gate array (NV-FPGA) includes coupling an information handling system to the FPGA, performing a block erase of a plurality of memory cells in the FPGA, verifying that the block erase is successful, programming an upper page of the FPGA, verifying that the upper page programming is successful, programming a lower page of the FPGA and verifying that the lower page programming is successful.
