Abstract :
An improved delay time bound estimation is given in this paper for an n-cell RC ladder network with capacitive load. An RC lumped model of the networks is preferred at the design stage, as it gives a faster prediction. We believe that the proposed delay time estimation for the networks will be useful for circuit analysis
