Circuit Verification Apparatus, Circuit Verification Method, And Signal Distribution Method For The Same

摘要

A circuit to be verified is divided into a plurality of circuit parts. A plurality of programmable devices are provided for implementing functional operation of the divided circuit parts through a simulation. Wiring used in the circuit to be verified for supplying a signal S_X to be given at the same time to the plurality of programmable devices is provided so that a maximum skew of time at which the signal S_X arrives at the plurality of programmable devices is less than a minimum time required for data transfer between the programmable devices. An input terminal PX for inputting the signal S_X from a signal generation device ( 400 ) is implemented in each of the programmable devices. The signal S_X can be inputted directly from the signal generation device, and a skew can be inhibited from being produced.
