11 Wire Delay Models Ideal wire same voltage is present at every segment of the wire at every point in time - at equi-potential only holds for very short wires, i.e., interconnects between very nearest neighbor gates Lumped C model when only a single parasitic component (C, R, or L) is dominant the different fractions are lumped into a single circuit element When the resistive component is small and the switching frequency is low to medium, can consider only C; the wire itself does not introduce any delay; the only impact on Driver performance comes from wire capacitance V out R Driver V out c wire C lumped capacitance per unit length good for short wires; pessimistic and inaccurate for long wires 0//2005 VLSI Design I;. Milenkovic 2 Wire Delay Models, con t Lumped RC model total wire resistance is lumped into a single R and total capacitance into a single C good for short wires; pessimistic and inaccurate for long wires Distributed RC model circuit parasitics are distributed along the length, L, of the wire c and r are the capacitance and resistance per unit length V in r L c L r L r L r L r L c L c L c L c L V N V in (r,c,l) V N Delay is determined using the Elmore delay equation τ Di = c k r ik 0//2005 VLSI Design I;.

Milenkovic 24 VLSI Design I;. Milenkovic 2
13 Distributed RC Model for Simple Wires length L RC wire can be modeled by N segments of length L/N The resistance and capacitance of each segment are given by r L/N and c L/N τ DN = (L/N) 2 (cr+2cr+ +Ncr) = (crl 2 ) (N(N+))/(2N 2 ) = CR((N+)/(2N)) where R (= rl) and C (= cl) are the total lumped resistance and capacitance of the wire For large N τ DN = RC/2 = rcl 2 /2 Delay of a wire is a quadratic function of its length, L The delay is /2 of that predicted (by the lumped model) 0//2005 VLSI Design I;. Milenkovic 25 Putting It ll Together R Driver r w,c w,l V out V in Total propagation delay consider driver and wire τ D = R Driver C w + (R w C w )/2 = R Driver C w + 0.5r w c w L 2 and t p = 0.69 R Driver C w R w C w where R w = r w L and C w = c w L The delay introduced by wire resistance becomes dominant when (R w C w )/2 R Driver C W (when L 2R Driver /R w ) For an R Driver = kω driving an µm wide l wire, L crit is 2.67 cm 0//2005 VLSI Design I;. Milenkovic 26 VLSI Design I;. Milenkovic 3
14 Design Rules of Thumb rc delays should be considered when t prc > t pgate of the driving gate L crit > (t pgate /0.38rc) actual L crit depends upon the size of the driving gate and the interconnect material rc delays should be considered when the rise (fall) time at the line input is smaller than RC, the rise (fall) time of the line t rise < RC when not met, the change in the signal is slower than the propagation delay of the wire so a lumped C model suffices 0//2005 VLSI Design I;. Milenkovic 27 Delay with Long Interconnects When gates are farther apart, wire capacitance and resistance can no longer be ignored. (r w, c w, L) V in V out c int c fan t p = 0.69R dr C int + (0.69R dr +0.38R w )C w (R dr +R w )C fan where R dr = (R eqn + R eqp )/2 = 0.69R dr (C int +C fan ) (R dr c w +r w C fan )L r w c w L 2 Wire delay rapidly becomes the dominate factor (due to the quadratic term) in the delay budget for longer wires. 0//2005 VLSI Design I;.

15 Crosstalk capacitor does not like to change its voltage instantaneously. wire has high capacitance to its neighbor. When the neighbor switches from -> 0 or 0->, the wire tends to switch too.

18 Noise Implications So what if we have noise? If the noise is less than the noise margin, nothing happens Static CMOS logic will eventually settle to correct output even if disturbed by large noise spikes But glitches cause extra delay lso cause extra power from false transitions Dynamic logic never recovers from glitches Memories and other sensitive circuits also can produce the wrong answer 0//2005 VLSI Design I;.
