Abstract :
This paper introduces an accurate, analytical timing model for the CMOS inverter. Analytical output waveform expressions for all the inverter operation regions and input waveform slopes are derived, which take into account the complete expression of the short-circuit current and the gate-to-drain coupling capacitance
