Abstract :
Accurate and simple models of CML propagation delay are given. The approach used is new. The propagation delay is represented with a few terms, providing a better insight into the relationship between delay and its electrical parameters, which in turn are related to process parameters. The most accurate model has a typical and worst case errors as low as 2% and 5%, respectively
