This paper presents a two-step, RC-interconnect in-sensitive linear time-varying (LTV) driver model for gate-level timing calculation. We show how to charac-terize a driver with the LTV model and how to apply that model in static timing analysis. With the LTV model, the delay error caused by the driver’s nonlinearity is reduced significantly because the driver’s linear- and saturation-region operations are characterized individually. Because both the linear- and saturation-region models are insen-sitive to interconnect loads, it is sufficient to use a small number of LTV models for a wide range of possible inter-connect loads. Due to the same reason, the LTV model is robust, does not require iterations, and makes timing analysis fast. This ...
