In this paper, we introduce a simple procedure to predict wiring delay in bi-directional buses and a way of properly sizing the driver for each of its port. In addition, we propose a simple calibration procedure to improve its delay prediction over the Elmore delay of the RC tree. The technique is fast, accurate, and ideal for implementation in floorplanner during behavioral synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
