Abstract
This application discloses a system implementing tools and mechanisms to determine whether a portion of combinational logic in a first circuit design is equivalent to a portion of combinational logic in a second circuit design. When the portions of the combinational logic in the first circuit design and the second circuit design are not equivalent, the tools and mechanisms can sequentially expand the portions of the combinational logic in the first circuit design and the second circuit design, and determine whether the expanded portion of the combinational logic in the first circuit design is equivalent the expanded portion of the combinational logic in the second circuit design.
