Abstract :
To model effectively the output waveform and propagation delay of a CMOS gate, knowledge of the time point at which it starts to conduct is essential. An efficient method for calculating analytically this time point taking into account the structure of the gate and the input waveform, is introduced. Such a method can easily be integrated into a timing analysis system
