Abstract

In MOS integrated circuits, signals may propagate between stages with fanout. The exact calculation of signal delay through such networks is difficult. However, upper and lower bounds for delay that are computationally simple are presented in this paper. The results can be used (1) to bound the delay, given the signal threshold; or (2) to bound the signal voltage, given a delay time; or (3) to certify that a circuit is "fast enough", given both the maximum delay and the voltage threshold.
