Abstract

An effective and accurate delay time model is the key problem in the simulation and timing verification of CMOS logic circuits. We propose a semi-analytic CMOW delay time model taking into account the configuration ratio, the input waveform slope and the load capacitance. This model is based on the Schichman Hodges's DC equations and derived on the optimally weighted switching peak current. The parameters necessary for the model calculation are automatically determined from the program. The proposed model is computationally effective and the error is typically within 10% of the SPICEA results. Compared to the table RC model, the accuracy is inproved over two times in average.
