ABSTRACT:
In designing integrated circuits such as FPGAs, a design support environment including the quality of design data is improved and the design efficiency is improved. An integrated-circuit design support apparatus that supports designing of an integrated circuit having a plurality of pins is provided. The apparatus includes a processor (a central processing unit) that forms a pin layout matrix (a matrix sheet) by unifying pin layout information of the integrated circuit using a common format and arranging the pin layout information in coordinates. The processor creates an integrated-circuit design library from the pin layout matrix.
