Abstract
Slow input ramp effects in delay evaluation on CMOS structures are considered. Corrections of previously defined closed-form equations are proposed, allowing accurate evaluation of delays in a large range of configurations. The expressions obtained remain sufficiently manageable to be used in an automatic data-path sizing tool. >

A comprehensive delay macro modeling for submicrometer CMOS logics

TL;DR: A comprehensive analytical modeling of the speed performance of CMOS gates with an accuracy comparable to electrical simulators is proposed, considering input slope, input-to-output capacitance coupling, and short-circuit current effects for CMOS inverters.

A comprehensive delay model for CMOS inverters

TL;DR: It is found that the delay and the output transition-time for an inverter with small fanouts are similar to those for large input transition-times, and the delay equations also explain negative delays that arise in case of slow input rise-times.

Propagation delay and short-circuit power dissipation modeling of the CMOS inverter

TL;DR: In this article, an accurate analytical model for the evaluation of the delay and the short-circuit power dissipation of the CMOS inverter is presented. But the model does not take into account the influences of the shortcircuit current during switching, and the gate-to-drain coupling capacitance.
