ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method, an apparatus and a program having high optimization precision and capable of obtaining an answer required by a designer in a short time by combining optimization between individual transistors and optimization as the entire circuit, or by appropriately combining judgment of an operation region, an analysis of the operation region and a SWEEP sensitivity analysis when the optimization is carried out. An optimizing designing apparatus of an integrated circuit for designing a circuit, comprises operation region judging means for adjusting an operation region (linear region, saturation region) of the circuit, operation region analysis means for displaying liner characteristics (Ids-Vgs characteristics) of the circuit and saturation characteristics (Ids-Vds characteristics) of the circuit, and SWEEP sensitivity analysis means for displaying variation in output characteristics of the circuit.
