ABSTRACT:
The circuit volume of a system under design is reduced by a circuit conversion involving consolidation (sharing) of common parts in the system by a representative part. The design data of the system post-conversion is used to verify operation of the system. However, the verification results for the system post-conversion express signals (e.g., signal X) of plural modules (e.g., modules a to c) as one signal waveform thereby making debugging difficult when a bug is found. Given this situation, from the verification results of the system post-conversion, signal-generation-use data is generated for generating the signal waveforms (here, respective signal waveforms for the modules a to c) of the system before conversion. After verification is complete, a signal waveform for each of the modules a to c is generated using the verification results for the system under design and the signal-generation-use data.
