Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anywhere. In practice, designs frequently have large blocks that make the ideal buffer insertion solution unrealizable. The theory of [12] is extended to show how one can model the blocks into a simple delay estimation technique that applies both to two-pin and to multi-pin nets. Even though the formula uses one buffer type, it shows remarkable accuracy in predicting delay when compared to an optimal realizable buffer insertion solution. Potential applications include wire planning, timing analysis during floorplanning or global routing. Our experiments show that our a...
