An analog circuit simulator simulates an operation of an analog circuit based on analog circuit configuration information and signal information indicating a signal input to the analog circuit. A digital circuit simulator simulates an operation of a digital circuit based on digital circuit configuration information and signal information indicating a signal input to the digital circuit. A control section controls executing timing of the simulations performed by the simulators. It allows the analog circuit simulator to simulate the operation for each predetermined cycle time Δt while it allows the digital circuit simulator to simulate the operation of the digital circuit according to the change of the level of a clock signal or the like that is input to the digital circuit. The speed of simulation for analog-digital hybrid circuits is improved.
