IDENTITY DECIDING PROCESSING METHOD FOR COMBINING CIRCUIT BY VERTICAL SEARCHING

PURPOSE:To attain the execution of simulation so that the whole can be synchronized and operated by preparing the circuit data of an input searching device in order to generate an input signal to decide the identity of two combining circuits to be verified. CONSTITUTION:A host computer 12, first, inputs input circuit data 10 and 11 of combining circuits C1 and C2 with a processing P11. At the processing P12, the data of an input searching device 15 to generate the input signal by the searching based on the vertical searching method are prepared in accordance with the number of the inputs of the circuits C1 and C2. At a processing P13, the data of an output inspection device 16 to compare the output signal of the circuits C1 and C2, detect the discordance and instruct the advancing or retreating of the search for the searching device 15 are prepared. At a processing P14, the processing of the connection of the searching device 15 and the circuits C1 and C2, the connection of the circuits C1 and C2 and the inspection device 16 and the connection of the inspection device 16 and the searching device 15 is executed. Prepared identify deciding circuit data 14 are loaded and simulated to a logical simulation exclusive machine 13.
