Signal Delay in Leaky RC Mesh Models for Bipolar Interconnect,

Abstract

This paper extends the results of Penfield and Rubinstein on signal delay in RC tree networks. Both estimates and bounds are derived for the step response of 'leaky' RC trees and meshes, a class of networks that is appropriate for modelling interconnect in digital bipolar circuits. This paper is intended to serve as a tutorial as well as a research report. Therefore existing work is explained in some detail along with the derivation of new results. (Author)
