Abstract :
Spurious signals may appear as a result of a variety of causes, such as hazards, crosstalk, and others. These signals may produce transient or even permanent logic errors in digital circuits if they affect memory elements. This work deals with the analysis of the penetration capability and the calculation of the propagation depth of such signals through logic circuits. The results are useful to determine the domain of effect of spurious signals and to point out rules for its detection
