A timing analysis apparatus includes a data extracting unit that extracts
objective circuit data concerning an objective circuit to become an
objective of a timing analysis from layout data indicating circuits on a
large-scale-integration chip; a time calculating unit that calculates a
delay time of the objective circuit based on the objective circuit data;
a parameter calculating unit that calculates a parameter indicating a
size of an arrangement area of the objective circuit based on the
objective circuit data; an information calculating unit that calculates
variation information concerning a variation of the delay time; and a
timing analyzing unit that performs the timing analysis of the objective
circuit using the delay time and the variation information.
