How cell delay will be evaluted.
cell delay is function of input transition and output load.But cell delay also varies with PVT conditions.
PVT conditions::
- Process Variation :: Variations in the process parameters can be impurity concentration densities, oxide thicknesses and diffusion depths.
- Voltage variation:: The delay of a cell is dependent on the saturation current. In this way, the power supply inflects the propagation delay of a cell. Throughout a chip, the power supply is not constant and hence the propagation delay varies in a chip.
- Temperature variation::As we know mobility of electrons depends on temperature ,which effects the delay.
As temperature increases mobility of charge carriers decreases, hence delay increases.
