A time-multiplexed FPGA architecture for logic emulation

Abstract
This paper presents an architecture for a FPGA oriented towards logic emulation, to achieve maximum usable logic density per unit silicon area, and fast mapping. Logic circuits are translated into a program that is executed sequentially by a network of processor elements. Overall, a sevenfold increase in raw logic blocks, and a 25-fold increase in usable logic blocks compared to a FPGA-based logic emulator is expected for a given silicon area.
