Abstract(in English) With the enlargement of the integration size on one LSI chip, high-level design methods using C-language are applied to the design of LSI chips, and the requirement for high-level verification methods becomes large. At the high-level, the simulation speed is known to be high, but it is hard to verify the functionality with only the simulation, and formal methods are suitable especially for the comparison of the original and optimized circuits. In the paper, we focus on the equivalence checking methods based on equivalence logic such as CVC (Cooperating Validity Checker), and show a verification method of C/Verilog descriptions by generating CVC formulae from C/Verilog sources. Since the verification time using CVC is influenced by the size of formulae, we should devise conversion methods from C/Verilog sources. We introduce several conversion methods and show their effectiveness.
