A switch network (22) in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) which operates as a combination of a programming transistor (34) and a ferroelectric transistor (32). The programming transistor (34) is selected to transfer a polarizing voltage to a gate terminal of the ferroelectric transistor (32) for programming the ferroelectric transistor (32) in an on-state. The ferroelectric transistor (32) functions as a nonvolatile latch and pass device to provide the electrical interconnect path that links multiple Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs). The programming transistor (34) is selected to transfer a depolarizing voltage to the gate terminal of the ferroelectric transistor (32) for programming the ferroelectric transistor (32) in an off-state.
