ABSTRACT:
Programming software for mask-programmable logic devices provides a timing estimation to the user for the user's logic design during the compilation stage, notwithstanding that the software is not aware of the ultimate placement and routing of the design, which will be performed by the mask-programmable logic device supplier. The software includes a timing model based on actual delay measurements for different user designs in similar devices.
