A delay estimation method using reduced model of RLC interconnects

Abstract

This paper proposes a new method for delay time calculation in RLC interconnects. This method is simple, yet precise. The proposed method can calculate the delay time of RLC interconnects by simple numerical formula calculation without complex moment calculation using reduced model RLC interconnects. The results using the proposed method for RLC circuits show that the average relative error is within 10% in comparison with HSPICE simulation results. © 2008 IEEE.
