Abstract
A high-level synthesis apparatus for synthesizing a register transfer level logic circuit from a behavioral description describing a processing operation of the circuit, comprises a low power consumption circuit generation section for generating a low power consumption circuit which stops or inhibits circuit operations of partial circuits constituting the logic circuit only when the partial circuits are in a wait state, so to achieve low power consumption. The low power consumption circuit generation section is synthesized along with the logic circuit.
