Abstract :
The results of the analysis, from a digital point of view, of some interconnection structures in GaAs integrated circuits are presented. These results are given in graphical format, as engineering charts, to assist designers, and with a polynomial fitting useful for timing analysis. In addition to computing timing parameters such as propagation time and signed slopes (waveforms), the methodology also provides estimations of noise and crosstalk levels
