Abstract :
Slow input ramp effects in delay evaluation on CMOS structures are considered. Corrections of previously defined closed-form equations are proposed, allowing accurate evaluation of delays in a large range of configurations. The expressions obtained remain sufficiently manageable to be used in an automatic data-path sizing tool
