A method is herein provided for placing drivers and repeaters along the interconnect so as to optimize interconnection propagation delay with respect to area and time constraints. The method provided optimizes the propagation delay and simplifies the propagation delay determination by first using drivers to divide an interconnect into forkless branches, then linearizing the delay of each branch by placing repeaters along the length of the branches.
