1. A method of supporting design, the method comprising:
comparing, by a computer, a first consumption current value indicated by first information stored in a storage device and a surplus current value indicated by second information stored in the storage device, the computer having the storage device storing the first information and the second information, the first information indicating the first consumption current value during operation of a first partial circuit included in a circuit under design, the second information indicating the surplus current value based on an allowable current value of a power source terminal of a second partial circuit and a second consumption current value during operation of the second partial circuit, the power source terminal being included in the circuit, different from the first partial circuit, and supplied by a same power source as the first partial circuit; and controlling, by the computer and according to a result of comparing the first consumption current value and the surplus current value, a layout apparatus to generate circuit information for a circuit in the circuit under design, where a power-supplying terminal of the second partial circuit capable of supplying to another circuit, power supplied to the power source terminal of the second partial circuit is connected to a power source terminal of the first partial circuit to which the power is supplied. |
