Macro model of a semiconductor integrated circuit device, circuit design simulation program, and circuit design simulator

Abstract

According to one aspect of what is disclosed herein, a macro model of a semiconductor integrated circuit device is for use on a circuit design simulator and includes: an input node configured to accept input of a second temperature condition which is set specifically and separately from a first temperature condition which is set for the entire system of the circuit design simulator; functional blocks configured to approximately or equivalently represent characteristics of the semiconductor integrated circuit device on the circuit design simulator; and a characteristics setting block configured to set internal parameters of the functional blocks so as to reflect the second temperature condition when the input node is fed with the second temperature condition.
