  • Abstract
    This paper presents a method for modeling MOS combinational logic gates. Analyses are given for power consumption, output response delay, output response waveshape, and input capacitance. The models are both computationally efficient and accurate, typically lying within 5% of SPICE estimates. They are pertinent to simulation and optimization applications. A general macromodeling software support package is described. A related paper [1] discusses a circuit optimizer based on these models.
