In one embodiment, a programmable logic device is provided that includes a memory having memory cells, each memory cell operable to store either a configuration bit or a RAM bit; a masking circuit operable to mask a RAM bit by providing a masking value for the masked RAM bit; an error detection circuit operable to process the configuration bits during operation of the programmable logic device using an error detection algorithm, the error detection circuit calculating a signature that includes configuration bits and masking values; and a comparator operable to compare the signature calculated by the error detection circuit with a correct signature.
