Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting a programmable logic device representation of a circuit into a second representation of the circuit. A circuit design is first captured and converted into a first representation of the circuit design. The first representation is for programming a programmable logic device. A first part of the first representation is for programming a configurable element in the programmable logic device. The first part of the first representation is used as a set of parameters for a general model of the configurable element. The second representation of the circuit includes the parameterized general model of the configurable element.
