            Abstract : 
A new method is presented and an analytical expression is derived for average interconnection delay estimation. This method is directly applicable to predicting the average delay for high-bandwidth communication links implemented on FPGAs. The theoretical results are compared with the measured data from the actual circuits and an average error of 4.6% is reported.
