Abstract :
The authors introduce a novel circuit model that accurately represents the temporal behavior of combinational circuits. This circuit model is the basis for the derivation of a new sensitizing criterion which provides the necessary conditions for accurate timing analysis. The authors describe the FPD timing analysis environment supported by the sensitizing criterion and present examples of its application.<>
