Timing modeling and optimization under the transmission line model.

Timing modeling and optimization under the transmission line model.

As the operating frequency increases to gigahertz and the rise time of a signal is less than or comparable to the time-of-flight delay of a wire, it is necessary to consider the transmission line behavior for delay computation. We present in this paper, an analytical formula for the delay computatio...
