Delay and Power Expressions Characterizing a CMOS Inverter Driving an Load

چکیده
On-chip parasitic inductance has become an important design issue in high speed integrated circuits. On-chip inductance may degrade on-chip signal quality, affect transmission delay, and cause additional short-circuit power dissipation. The effects of onchip inductance on the output voltage, propagation delay, and shortcircuit power of a CMOS inverter are presented in this paper. Analytic equations characterizing the output voltage are derived based on an assumption of a fast ramp input signal. Closed form expressions describing the short-circuit power are also presented. The accuracy of these analytic equations is within 10% as compared to SPICE simulations. It is demonstrated that large inductive loads and fast input transition times can increase short-circuit current.

In large chips, the propagation delay of the data and clock signals can limit performance due to long resistive interconnect. The insertion of repeaters alleviates the quadratic increase in propagation delay with interconnect length while decreasing power dissipation by reducing short-circuit current.
