Abstract:
An equivalent circuit generating method for use with a logic emulation system comprising input means for inputting design data representing a logic circuit, generating means for generating a plurality of mapping data for small-scale circuits from the design data representing a logic circuit, and mapping means for mapping said mapping data on the small-scale circuits mounted on a printed circuit board, said equivalent circuit generating method comprising the steps of:said input means inputting information of a logical change of said logic circuit;said generating means detecting a change of said design data corresponding to said logical change of said logic circuit;said generating means judging a small-scale circuit to be altered for implementing said change of said design data;said generating means altering said mapping data for said small-scale circuit to be altered for implementing said change; andsaid mapping means mapping the altered mapping data for said small-scale circuit on said small-scale circuit.
