Sectional configuration for programmable logic devices

A bit line (BL) may be coupled at a first end to a BL driver (BLD) and at a second end to a BL receiver (BLR). The BL include a plurality of sections and each BL section may be coupled to at least one corresponding sectional configuration memory latch controlled by: at least one sectional word line write (WLW-k) signal, which when asserted enables data to be written into the at least one corresponding sectional configuration memory latch when a corresponding tri-stateable sectional driver (SD-k) is activated, and at least one sectional word line read (WLR-k) signal, which when asserted enables data to be from the at least one corresponding sectional configuration memory latch when the corresponding sectional pull-up (PU-k) is activated.
