A method of designing a semiconductor integrated circuit is based on a TPI (Test Point Insertion) technique. The design method includes: inserting a test point into a target node in a designed circuit and designating delay time for a test point path connected to the test point. Thereafter, a layout of a designed circuit is made so that delay time of the test point path becomes the above described designated delay time.

摘要:
A method for a logic optimization in a logic synthesis comprises the following steps. Prior to an actual execution of a logic flattening process, a scale of unoptimized circuits is estimated assuming that the unoptimized circuits have already been subjected to the logical flattening. The unoptimized circuits are subjected to a two-level logic optimization only when an estimated scale of the unoptimized circuits exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Prior to an actual execution of a logic flattening process, a scale of the optimized circuits is estimated assuming that the optimized circuits have already been subjected to the logic flattening. The optimized circuits are subjected to the logic flattening if an estimated scale of the optimized circuits does not exceed the predetermined threshold value.

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes an input side flip-flop; a combinational circuit having an input connected with the input side flip-flop; an output side flip-flop connected with an output of the combinational circuit; and a delay test circuit. The delay test circuit generates output clock pulses by removing an optional one from equal to or more than 3 continuing clock pulses of an input clock signal, and supplies the output clock pulse to the input side flip-flop and the output side flip-flop.
