Abstract
In this paper, a simple analytical model which allows the estimation of the propagation delay of an RC circuit with a linear input is presented. The closed-form model can be used to evaluate the propagation delay of CMOS gates or wires in modern VLSI and ULSI process. Despite its simplicity, the model error has a maximum value of 2 % and in general is lower than 1%.
