ABSTRACT:
A method for optimization of delay times in a digital circuit. The method comprises selecting a logic gate (12), and constructing a model (35) which predicts the delay time (27) of the logic gate (12). Varying the parameters which control the model to more accurately predict the delay time (48). Summing the delay time (48) due to each logic gate (12) which comprises the signal path. Repeating the method for each signal path within the digital circuit until all signal paths are computed. Modifying the digital circuit based on the calculated delay times (48) so as to better satisfy a predetermined measurement criteria.
