    摘要: A semiconductor device includes both a logic circuit and a macro circuit. The macro circuit includes a circuit that consumes direct current (DC). In order to conserve power and allow for testing, the consumption of DC by the current consumption circuit can be stopped with a stop signal, which stops the operation of the macro circuit. The macro circuit can be restarted or returned to normal operation mode without risk of error caused by the stopping of the macro circuit.

    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device design method and program that can rapidly improve power supply noise characteristics and reduce the noise sufficiently without being restricted in design and noise solution. A step of performing frequency analysis on a power supply distribution network model creates a power supply distribution network model based on electric characteristics obtained in accordance with specifications (maximum allowable drop value of power supply voltage, power supply current value, operating frequency, etc.) of the semiconductor device and performs frequency analysis on this power supply distribution network model. A step of performing frequency analysis based on an operating current waveform analyzes power supply current characteristics based on an operating current waveform obtained in accordance with the specification. A step of calculating power supply noise calculates the power supply noise in accordance with analysis results of the step of performing frequency analysis on the power supply distribution network model and the step of performing frequency analysis based on the operating current waveform. It is thus possible to estimate the power supply noise before designing a circuit of the semiconductor device.

An analog signal AOUT is outputted from an analog signal generating section 3 in which an adjustment signal AD is inputted. The analog signal AOUT is inputted to a judgment section 1, in which it is compared and judged with a predetermined value and then a judgment signal JG is outputted. The judgment signal JG acts on a predetermined signal storing section 4 as an internal signal and the adjustment signal AD is fetched into the predetermined signal storing section 4. Further, the judgment signal JG is outputted as digital signal through an external terminal T2 and an external tester device acquires the adjustment signal and stores the acquired adjustment signal in the predetermined signal storing section 4. Consequently, the analog signal can be adjusted as analog value without being outputted outside and an adjustment test can be carried out with a simple tester device and according to a simple test method accurately and rapidly.
