ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor design support device for designing a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a behavioral description, an RTL description, and a latency analyzer. The behavioral description describes an algorithm of processing performed by hardware in a motion level. The RTL description is generated by reading the behavioral description and recognizes a concept including register and clock synchronism peculiar to the hardware. The latency analyzer analyzes a result of a logic simulation performed on the RTL description to calculate a latency in each block representing an operation in a predetermined unit in the behavioral description.
