Optimizing dominant time constant in RC circuits
— Conventional methods for optimal sizing of wires and transistors use linear resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit models and the Elmore delay as a measure of signal delay. If the RC ...

Closed form expressions for extending step delay and slew metrics to ramp inputs
: Recent years have seen significant research in finding closed form expressions for the delay of an RC circuit that improves upon the Elmore delay model. However, several of these...

Information theoretic approach to address delay and reliability in long on-chip interconnects
With shrinking feature size and growing integration density in the Deep Sub-Micron technologies, the global buses are fast becoming the “weakest-links” in VLSI design. They ha...
