ABSTRACT:
As part of a process for producing a structured ASIC that is functionally equivalent to an FPGA that has been programmed to perform a user's logic design, a compilation of that design that has been prepared for ASIC implementation is converted to a physical layout of the structured ASIC. The production of this physical layout honors timing constraints supplied by the user, and also preserves functional equivalence to the reference programmed FPGA. The structured ASIC can be manufactured from the physical layout produced.
