Abstract :
This paper presents techniques for reducing CMOS gates to equivalent inverters for current and delay analysis. These do not assume a single input switching, and they account for the speed of the input transitions, as well as for the relative positions of the inputs in series-connected MOSFETs. The resulting inverters have been tested using previously published current analysis techniques. The gate reduction time is small compared to that for determining the current, and there is no significant effect on the accuracy
