Abstract :
A dynamically reconfigurable logic array, i.e., the Flexible Processor, suitable for single chip emulation system is developed. It demonstrates the sequential execution of sub-circuits divided from original circuit, by newly developed Temporal Communication Module (TCM). In order to accelerate emulation speed, a logic element, which can reduce configuration data by 30% as compared to conventional Look-Up-Table, is implemented. The chip (3.9/spl times/3.9 mm/sup 2/) fabricated with 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS technology operates at 33 MHz with 5.0 V power supply.
