<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently design a circuit for a short period of time. <P>SOLUTION: In the circuit design method, selection sections 6 and 11 are provided in each hierarchy (in the example of FIG. 1, top hierarchy and lower hierarchy) of hierarchy design data which serially connect test circuit models 4, 5, 9 and 10 included in circuit blocks in each of the hierarchies in the hierarchies and between the hierarchies, selects and outputs any one of test data (test result) through the test circuit models 4, 5, 9 and 10 of its own hierarchy and test data not through the test circuit models 4, 5, 9 and 10 of its own hierarchy. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
