  • Abstract
    An analytical approach to sizing nFET chains is presented. The technique is based on empirical observations of time constants in the classical RC delay model, and on a technology parameter determined from SPICE simulations. The technique allows a delay/area curve to be easily obtained, allowing tradeoff decisions by the circuit designer.
