Methods for facilitating the synthesis of structured ASICs that are functionally equivalent to FPGAs make use of the synthesis of a user's logic design for the FPGA. Each of several relatively small parts of the user's logic as synthesized for the FPGA technology is resynthesized for the structured ASIC implementation. The resynthesis may handle different kinds of parts of the logic differently. For example, for a part for which an ASIC synthesis is already known and available in a library, the known ASIC synthesis may be retrieved from the library. More extensive resynthesis (including, for example, logic minimization and function packing) may be performed on other parts of the logic for which library syntheses are not available. |
