Claim 0:
1. A simulating method comprising:
loading a design file of a printed circuit board (PCB), a design file of a registered clock driver (RCD), a design file of a semiconductor memory device, a design file of a memory module, and a test program, through a graphic user interface (GUI);
setting a configuration and an arrangement of the RCD based on the design file of the RCD, and a configuration and an arrangement of first semiconductor memory devices to fourth semiconductor memory devices based on the design file of the semiconductor memory device, on the PCB, through the GUI;
setting a connection between board control signal terminals of the PCB and driver input terminals of the RCD, a connection between first board control output terminals of the PCB and first driver output terminals of the RCD, a connection between second board control output terminals of the PCB and second driver output terminals of the RCD, a connection between third board control output terminals of the PCB and third driver output terminals of the RCD, and a connection between fourth board control output terminals of the PCB and fourth driver output terminals of the RCD, through the GUI;
in response to a RCD test execution command applied through the GUI, executing the test program to apply control signals to control signal terminals of the PCB based on a command truth table for test, to compare the applied control signals and control signals output through first driver output terminals of the RCD, and to create an RCD test result; and
in response to the RCD test result indicating that the RCD operates normally, performing a test on the memory module.
