In a verification support device, a logical expression expressing an
operation of a pattern generator can be acquired. The pattern generator
includes a basic pattern generator, priority pattern generators, priority
pattern selection conditions, and selector circuits. The selector
circuits connect the basic pattern generator, the priority pattern
generators, and the priority pattern selection conditions. Output of the
basic pattern generator and outputs of the priority pattern generators
are respectively connected to a signal input of a corresponding selector
circuit. Outputs of the priority pattern selection conditions are
connected to an ON/OFF control input of each selector circuit. An n-th
selector circuit, among all selector circuits, is connected to an input
terminal of a verification subject.
