In LSI design, gate level logic circuit information, standard cell library
information, and package information of a circuit block constituting an
LSI chip are inputted, noise analysis is performed for the LSI chip using
the inputted information, and the processing is ended when the amount of
noise is within a predetermined range, while a logic gate in the circuit
block is selected when the amount of noise is out of the predetermined
range and a bypass condenser is added to the selected logic gate.
Therefore, a bypass condenser having a required capacitance can be added
in the vicinity of a noise source in the circuit block, whereby the noise
can be reliably restricted to the predetermined range.
