  • Patent number: 5592655
    Abstract: For simulation evaluation of combinational logic, changes in input signals are reserved for events occurring with respect to every element of the combinational logic circuit or of a partial circuit within the logic circuit according to demand timing. To inhibit wasteful processes, when the output value of a pertinent element or partial circuit is required by an element included in another partial circuit, i.e. when a demand has been sensed, only then are the events which occurred before evaluation.
