Abstract
An efficient method for optimizing RC circuit design to reduce delay. The method comprises: calculating a first moment and a second moment of impulse response for an RC circuit; (2) computing a delay value for each node of the RC circuit utilizing the first and second moments by multiplying the natural logarithm of 2 with a division of the squared power of the first impulse moment by the square root of the second impulse moment; and (3) analyzing each node to determine if the delay at that node is at a desired optimization condition for optimizing the circuit response.
