Abstract

A method for designing a decoupling circuit for a source line of a LSI includes the steps of determining the capacitance of the decoupling capacitor based on the electric charge necessary for one cycle operation of the LSI and the allowable fluctuation of the source voltage, and determining the inductance of the source line based on the impedance of the decoupling capacitor and the allowable minimum multiplexing ratio of the source current by the decoupling capacitor.
