A delay analysis device includes a receiving unit that receives a result
of a timing analysis of a target circuit to be analyzed, a detecting unit
that detects critical paths having delays within a predetermined range, a
statistical-delay computing unit that computes a statistical delay of the
target circuit based on a cumulative probability distribution of the
delays of the critical paths, and a probability-density-distribution
computing unit that computes a probability density distribution of delay
of a critical path that has the greatest delay in the result. The
detecting unit detects x number of critical paths having cumulative
delays within computed probability density distribution.
