Abstract
A technique has been described of characterizing the timing behavior of circuits with multiple input terminals. The technique allows determination of minimum and maximum delays. Additionally, it provides the precise circuit behavior as the relationship among the input signals changes with respect to the average of the input signal times to exhibit domination by the later arriving signal or regimes where the delay is affected by more than one input signal.
