Abstract :
We present a procedure, based on dimensional analysis, to simplify macromodeling. By combining variables according to their units, simpler equations involving dimensionless variables can be derived. The procedure is illustrated by developing macromodels for power dissipation, supply current, and propagation delay of a CMOS inverter
