Abstract: A method, computer readable medium apparatus and system for developing an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes defining the functionality of a target ASIC device within a target system, as well as synthesizing circuits for the target ASIC device and a programmable logic device concurrently or nearly concurrently, thereby providing a conversion-less ASIC development flow using one or more programmable devices. In a specific embodiment, the conversion-less ASIC development flow requires no subsequent step of modifying a functional description for the target ASIC device from a functional description expressed in terms of the programmable logic device, thereby reducing an amount of time required to produce the target ASIC device.
