    Abstract: A method of placing and routing elements of a semiconductor integrated circuit picks out a signal net, a driver of the signal net, and load cells driven by the driver among the elements of the integrated circuit, places the driver at a first position, defines a first range based on the first position, determines a second position in the first range, defines a second range based on the second position, and collectively places the load cells of a predetermined number in the second range. Namely, the method deals with a signal net in the integrated circuit, a driver of the net, and load cells driven by the driver. The method sets conditions on the signal net, driver, and load cells, when placing and routing the elements of the integrated circuit, to thereby reduce skew (skew time), wiring overhead, and time delay in the integrated circuit and speedily and easily place and route the elements.

    Abstract: A method of verifying integrated circuit operation compares stored data structures which correspond to integrated circuit logic cells. Simulated graph data for a plurality of different types of logic cells are first determined by varying a plurality of factors including: the delay time of a logic cell after a signal is inputted until a signal is outputted, load capacity, and transient time of the inputted signal. The acquired graph data for each of the logic cells is then processed into data having a common origin at a common value and stored into a cell library. The processed graph data is then extracted as general-use graph data by comparing the acquired graph data with one another. A selector selects graph data which corresponds to an object of calculation from the library and an arithmetic logic unit calculates delay time of an actual logic cell based upon the selected graph data.

    Abstract: A reference delay generator includes a delay unit having a plurality of delay elements which are cascaded and respectively have variable delay times. The delay unit receives a reference signal and generates a delayed signal which is a delayed version of the reference signal. A control part detects a phase difference between the reference signal and the delayed signal and generates a control signal which sets the phase difference to an integer multiple of 90.degree.. The control signal is applied to the delay elements, so that the delay times of the delay elements are changed on the basis of the control signal. The control signal is used for, for example, controlling a delay circuit which includes a plurality of delay elements identical to those of the delay unit.
