Abstract
A nonvolatile programmable logic switch according to an embodiment includes first and second cells, each of the first and second cells including: a first memory having a first to third terminals, the third terminal being receiving a control signal; a first transistor connected at one of source/drain to the second terminal; and a second transistor connected at a gate to the other of the source/drain of the first transistor, the third terminal of the first memory in the first cell and the third terminal of the first memory in the second cell being connected in common. When conducting writing into the first memory in the first cell, the third terminal is connected to a write power supply generating a write voltage, the first terminals in the first and second cells are connected to a ground power supply and a write inhibit power supply generating a write inhibit voltage respectively.
