Abstract :
Serpentine lines have been widely used in digital circuits to provide the required timing delays. Based on a full-wave simulation tool, some critical parameters that affect the delay characteristic of a serpentine line are carefully studied and analyzed. With the comprehensive study and analysis, a set of practical and useful design guides are concluded for designing a serpentine line to meet the delay specification.
