Abstract :
This paper addresses the generation of enhanced behavioral models for digital IC buffers. The proposed models can reproduce the behavior of real devices also for large fluctuations of the power supply voltage. The models can be easily estimated from port transient responses and can be effectively implemented in any commercial tool as SPICE subcircuits or VHDL-AMS descriptions.
