Abstract(in English) Recently, development period of ASIC is longer becouse of the increase in circuit scale. Verification process accounts for a lot of development time among them, so shortening the verification period is desired. Currently, commercial FPGA-based ASIC emulator requires a cicuit partitioning when emulating a large-scale circuit. And it's emulation frequency is remarkably reduced. Currently, commercial FPGA-based emulator does not exist that more than emulation frequency of 10MHz or more and circuit scale of several hundreds of million ASIC gates have can be emulated. Therefore, this paper proposes the FPGA-based ASIC emulator that has the performance of the above by using a high-speed serial communication for data communication between the FPGAs. We discuss the feasible emulation frequency and circuit scale by the loop-back connection test of high-speed serial communication in a single FPGA.
