PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for detecting a state of a circuit under test, capable of simply modeling the state of the circuit under test and easily evaluating the state of the circuit under test. SOLUTION: The apparatus comprises: a power supply circuit 3 for supplying a variable voltage VDD(t) which varies temporally, to the circuit under test 2 which has a plurality of CMOS transistors (semiconductor devices); an input signal supplying section 5 for supplying an input voltage Vi(t) which is lower than the variable voltage VDD(t) and varies temporally, to an input terminal T1 of the circuit under test 2 in a period starting before or after supplying the variable voltage VDD(t); and a control section 7 for collecting temporally varying operation states of one or more object transistors among the plurality of transistors, and detecting at least a portion of circuit information including the object transistor from the collected operation states.
