Abstract:
A circuit analysis device includes: a processor configured to execute a procedure by: calculating, for power supply noise included in a power supply voltage supplied to a semiconductor memory device, variation characteristics of an electric potential relative to the power supply voltage in a specific memory cell included in a memory cell array; calculating power supply noise of a power supply system that occurs when a current is supplied to an equivalent circuit of the power supply system under a predetermined condition, the power supply system including a power supply line and an element for supplying a power supply voltage from a voltage source to a semiconductor device; calculating, from the variation characteristics, the electric potential obtained when the power supply noise is equal to a specific magnitude; and determining, by comparing the calculated electric potential with a threshold, whether memory latch-up will occur in the specific memory cell.
