A current source model for CMOS logic cells considering multiple input switching and stack effect

This paper presents a current source model (CSM) of a CMOS logic cell, which captures simultaneous switching of multiple inputs while accounting for the effect of internal node voltages of the logic cell. Characterization procedures for various components of the proposed CSM are described and applic...

Summary:This paper presents a current source model (CSM) of a CMOS logic cell, which captures simultaneous switching of multiple inputs while accounting for the effect of internal node voltages of the logic cell. Characterization procedures for various components of the proposed CSM are described and application of the model to output waveform computation is discussed. Experimental results to assess the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed multiple input switching CSM in the context of noise and timing analyses in VLSI circuits are reported.
