Abstract
A method of detecting the relations between the pins of a circuit and a computer program product thereof are provided. The method includes: retrieving a circuit description file describing a circuit; retrieving at least one data pin and at least one clock pin of the circuit; converting the circuit to a cell level; and tracing the circuit in the cell level to identify multiple flip-flops coupled to the clock pin; tracing the circuit in the cell level to identify a target flip-flop coupled to the data pin; and determining whether the data pin is related to the clock pin according to the data signal and the clock signal of the target flip-flop.
