A method of calculating power consumption of an integrated circuit based on circuit information representing an internal configuration of each circuit and connection-between-circuits information is performed by a computer. The method includes acquiring transition information about input and output signals of the circuit by performing logical analysis, on the assumption of no propagation delay between the circuits, based on input pattern information of the integrated circuit, the connection-between-circuits information, and logical model information about the circuit, extracting from transition patterns of the input signal, a transition pattern causing a glitch in the output signal based on the logical model information, reflecting the glitch in the transition information about the output signal responsive to the input signal having the extracted transition pattern among the acquired transition information, and calculating, by the computer, the power consumption of the integrated circuit based on the transition information in which the glitch is reflected. |
