Patent ID: 6968516

Claim:
An LSI development support system for generating design data and a document which are consistent with each other, the system comprising: a database which includes design data and document data for modules serving as LSI design assets, the design data and the document data being mutually related on a module-by-module basis, an input interface unit for inputting necessary information, a detailed-specific preparation temporary unit for preparing detailed-specific management information, which indicates the configuration of modules forming an LSI to be developed, and individual detailed specifics for each said module of the LSI, based on the information inputted in the input interface unit, a database selection unit for extracting, from the database, design data and document data for the modules specified in the detailed-specific management information, and a data conversion and synthesis unit for converting and synthesizing the extracted design data and document data based on the individual detailed specifics, wherein the document data includes LSI user's manual data.
