ABSTRACT:
An inter-hierarchy synchronizing system and an LSI include a plurality of function blocks taking a hierarchical structure and having timing systems expressed by timing variables independent of each other and inter-hierarchy synchronizing blocks disposed these hierarchies. This synchronizing block has: an input event temporary storage part for receiving and storing an input event generation signal group from a higher-level block; an activation timing judging part for judging activations of a plurality of function blocks and transmitting activation signals; an output event temporary storage part for receiving and storing output event generation signals including a completion signal from lower-level blocks; and a final completion signal judging part for judging a final completion state on the basis of a signal from the output event temporary storage part and transmitting a final completion signal to the high-block. The pre-designed function blocks are operable at a high speed without undergoing an influence by a delay of clocks.
