An integrated circuit for providing a pin-for-pin replacement of a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The integrated circuit includes an emulation circuit for mimicking the programmable stage (e. g. , initialization, configuration and start-up states) of the FPGA. The integrated circuit is designed to be transparent to the user/customer, thereby eliminating the need for a costly redesign of a user's circuit board.

For use in a CDMA receiver having a Viterbi decoder, a system for, and method of, performing one-pass blind transport format detection (BTFD) with respect to a received frame and a WCDMA receiver incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a traceback circuit that performs a zero state BTFD traceback function with respect to at least a Viterbi-decoded portion of the frame, the traceback function being dependent upon a relative position of a BTFD checkpoint and generating hard decision bits and (2) a BTFD point selection circuit, coupled to the traceback circuit, that employs the hard decision bits to determine a location of a BTFD point with respect to the frame.
