Abstract :
A novel slope delay model for CMOS switch-level timing verification is presented. It differs from conventional methods in being semi-analytic in character. The model assumes that all input waveforms are trapezoidal in overall shape, but that they vary in their slope. This simplification is quite reasonable and does not seriously affect precision, but it facilitates rapid solution. The model divides the stages in a switch-level circuit into two types. One corresponds to the logic gates, and the other corresponds to logic gates with pass transistors connected to their outputs. Semi-analytic modeling for both cases is discussed.<>
