  • Patent number: 5706223
    Abstract: A logic simulation device includes an indefinite value generating signal line extracting unit, a propagation deciding unit and a message output unit. The logic simulation device is supplied with circuit connection data of a logic circuit and input signal data employed for simulating the logic circuit. The indefinite value generating signal line extracting unit extracts a signal line which enters a floating state in excess of an allowance time or that causes a collision of logic states as an indefinite value generating signal line. The propagation deciding unit decides whether or not a propagation candidate gate having a propagation input end which is connected with an indefinite value generating signal line is in a state propagating the indefinite value to its output. The propagation deciding unit decides that the indefinite value generating signal line is an error signal line causing an error only when the propagation candidate gate is in a state of propagating the value at the propagation input end.

  • Patent number: 5701254
    Abstract: In a switch level simulation system of the present invention, bidirectional switch models are allocated more accurately at locations which need to be bidirectional in circuit connection information and uni-directional switch models corresponding to the flow direction of a signal are allocated at the other locations. The connection information extracting section extracts the connection state of each device in a circuit indicated by circuit information and produces connection information. The input/output type determining section determines whether or not a switching device in a circuit is bidirectional and the flow direction of a signal in a uni-directional switching device, according to connection information. The circuit connection information generating section generates circuit connection information to be used by a simulation executing section, using the result of determining of the input/output type determining section.
