Abstract : Nonzero signal rise and fall times significantly contribute to gate propagation delay. Designers must accurately consider them when defining timing library format. Based on a design oriented macromodel of the timing performance of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) structures, a general representation of transition times allowing fast and accurate cell performance evaluation is presented. This representation is validated comparing calculated gate input-output transition time values with respect to standard lookup representation obtained from HSPICE simulations (BSIM3, v.3, level 69, 0.25 μm process).
