A memory cell (400) for storing data on an integrated circuit. The memory cell (400) is dynamic, nonvolatile, and reprogrammable. The layout of the memory cell is compact. A logic high output from the memory cell (400) is about VDD and a logic low output is about VSS. The memory cell (400) of the present invention includes a first programmable memory element (515). First programmable memory element (515) is coupled between a voltage source (510) and an output node (405). A charge pumping node (545) dynamically charges, through a charging transistor (525), the output node (405) to about VDD. When programmable memory element (515) is not programmed, the memory cell stores and outputs a logic low. When programmable memory element (515) is programmed, the memory cell stores and outputs a logic high. The memory cell (400) may be used to store the configuration information for a programmable logic device (121).
