摘要： The time and trouble of a mismatch cause analysis after logical equivalence verification can be reduced, and design and verification TAT can be shortened. A logical equivalence verifying device performs logical equivalence verification between two circuits, and displays the result of the logical equivalence verification. A preprocessing section 7 performs structural matching so as to determine whether there are portions corresponding in circuit structure to each other in corresponding logic cones of the two circuits. An internal DB 5 records the results of the structural matching as an identifier for each element. A subcone extracting section 8 extracts, as a subcone, a collection of elements, which are mutually to one another and have the same identifier, from each logic cone. A verifying section 9 performs logical equivalence verification between the two circuits for each of the extracted subcones. A display control section 10 displays only those subcones for which the logical equivalence verification has resulted in mismatch.

摘要： A circuit diagram display apparatus displays a plurality of logic circuit diagrams. An associating unit associates the logic circuits based on at least any one of identification information, structural information, logical equivalence information, and external designated information about the logic circuits. A display format changing unit changes a display format between a side-by-side format and one-below-the-other format. A display controller performs control to display a target point in the logic circuit diagram in the same position before and after the display format is changed.

摘要： A cell arrangement evaluating method for predicting a wiring density based on only a cell arranging result prior to initiation of any wiring programs so as to easily perform wiring condition evaluation based on the wiring density within a short time. Two cells to be connected by wiring are selected, and a rectangular region is obtained in which the pins of the two cells to be connected are diagonal verfexes. The probability of wiring between the pins to be connected passing through a certain grid point of wiring grid is calculated. A proportion of the rectangular region occupying each evaluation unit grid is calculated, and then, for each evaluation unit grid, an index for an increase of a wiring density made by the factor of the wiring in the evaluation unit grid is calculated. Then, for each evaluation unit grid, the sum of indexes calculated for all the wiring lines among the cells as a wiring density in the evaluation unit grid is calculated. The cell arrangement evaluation method is used for designing an integrated circuit such an LSI or a circuit on a printed circuit board.
