Abstract
Logic emulation based on FPGAs became one of the major techniques of rapid prototyping. Such emulators allow a precise representation of the system's behaviour but unfortunately the timing can not be mapped precisely. This paper presents an approach to include a slow motion functionality into a FPGA-based emulation, that allows the emulator to reflect precisely the timing of the final system.
