Abstract
A device for automatic configuration of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a memory that stores circuit data representing a structure of a logic circuit including a first clock gating circuit, and a processor. The processor is configured to retrieve the circuit data from the memory, determine first and second logical elements from each of which an enable signal is output to the first clock gating circuit, calculate a delay time of each of the first and second logical elements, separate the first and second logical elements on the basis of the calculated delay time, and add a second clock gating circuit for the first logical element after separating the first and second logical elements.
