ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for a CPLD-structured ASIC. Circuit blocks associated with a programmed portion of a CPLD are configured to preserve timing associated with instantiation of a circuit design in the programmed portion of the CPLD. The circuit blocks have predetermined placement information obtained from the CPLD, and the placement information is used to locate CPLD-structured ASIC cells associated with the circuit blocks.
