Abstract
A method and a structure provide emulation circuit implemented on a logic block module comprising clocked and unclocked field programmable logic devices (FPGAs). Software modules analyze the target logic circuit and impose delay constraints to require certain storage instances to be implemented on separate FPGAs so as to prevent hold time violation artifacts.
