Abstract

A logic verification apparatus for a semiconductor integrated circuit classifies a program described in HDL into connection information of a synchronous circuit portion and connection information of a asynchronous circuit portion, converts a portion of the connection information of the asynchronous circuit portion into the connection information of the synchronous circuit portion and increases circuit portions the function of which can be verified by a cycle based simulation/static timing verification unit, thus making it possible to shorten the time for verification.
