Abstract

In this paper we present efficient closed-form formulas to estimate the incremental delay change induced by capacitive interconnect coupling. We also analyze temporal correlations among switching signals and develop criteria for timing win驴dow alignment. Our approximations are conservative and yet achieve acceptable accuracy. The formulas are simple enough to be used in the inner loops of static timing analysis.
