Abstract
A delay and power model of a CMOS inverter driving a resistive-capacitive load is presented. The model is derived from Sakurai´s alpha power law and exhibits good accuracy. The model can be used to design and analyze those inverters that drive a large RC load when considering both speed and power. Expressions are provided for estimating the propagation delay, transition time, and short circuit power dissipation for a CMOS inverter driving resistive-capacitive interconnect lines
