<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for synthesizing a semiconductor integrated circuit which designs efficiently a semiconductor integrated circuit with reduced power consumption. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The device for synthesizing a semiconductor integrated circuit includes: graph generating means 12, 13 which generate a graph based on operation description or RTL description; a division means 14 which divides the graph into small graphs; a circuit generating process means 15 which generates module circuits from the respective small graphs, respectively; and a power consumption estimating/evaluating means 16 which estimates the total power consumption of all the module circuits and determines whether the power consumption satisfies a predetermined condition or not. If not satisfying, the device makes the division means divide the small graphs further, and if satisfying, the device generates the RTL description of the semiconductor circuit subjected to a gated clock for each module circuit.
