  1. Timing Analysis Section 2.4.2

  2. Delay Time • Def: Time required for output signal Y to change due to change in input signal X • Up to now, we have assumed this delay time has been 0 seconds. t=0 t=0

  3. Delay Time • In a “real” circuit, it will take tp seconds for Y to change due to X t=0 t=tp tp is known as the propagation delay time

  4. Timing Diagram • We use a timing diagram to graphically represent this delay Horizontal axis = time axis Vertical axis = Logical level axis (Logic One or Logic Zero)

  5. Timing Diagram • We see a change in X at t=0 causes a change in Y at t=tp Horizontal axis = time axis Vertical axis = Logical level axis (Logic One or Logic Zero)

  6. Timing Diagram • We also see a change in X at t=T causes another change in Y at t=T+tp We see that logic circuit F causes a delay of tp seconds in the signal

  7. Simple Example – Not Gate Let tp=2 ns Where ns = nanosecond = 1x10-9 seconds 2ns

  8. Simple Example – 2 Not Gates Let tp=2 ns 4ns 2ns 2ns Total Delay = 2ns + 2ns = 4ns

  9. Simple Example – 2 Not Gates Notes: Time axis is shared among signals Logic levels (1 or 0) are implied, not shown

  10. Simple Example – 2 Not Gates Sometimes dashed vertical lines are added to aid reading diagram 2ns 2ns 2ns 2ns 2ns

  11. Where does this delay come from? Circuit Delay

  12. Circuit Delay • All electrical circuits have intrinsic resistance (R) and capacitance (C). Let’s analyze a simple RC circuit

  13. Circuit Delay – Simple RC Circuit Vin Vout Note:

  14. Circuit Delay – Example Vin Vout Let R=1ohm, C=1F, so that RC=1 second Time Delay is 0.7s or 700 ms for 0.5Vdd Time Delay is 2.3s for 0.9Vdd Time Delay is 4.6s for 0.99 Vdd

  15. How do we relate this to logic diagrams?

  16. Def: tplh tplh = low-to-high propagation delay time This is the time required for the output to rise from 0V to ½ VDD tplh

  17. Def: tphl Tphl = high-to-low propagation delay time This is the time required for the output to fall from Vdd to ½ VDD tphl

  18. Def: tp (propagation delay time) Let’s define tp = propagation delay time as This will be the “average” delay through the circuit

  19. Gate Delay – Simple RC Model Ideal gate with tp=0 delay RC network Tp=tp_not Equivalent model with Gate delay of tp_not Ideal gate with RC network

  20. Gate Delay - Example X 0 25ns 5ns Y tp_not 0 5ns 30ns We indicate tp on the gate

  21. Combinational Logic Delay Longest delay This circuit has multiple delay paths A-Y = 5ns+5ns+5ns=15ns B-Y = 5ns+5ns+5ns+5ns=20ns C-Y = 5ns+5ns+5ns=15ns D-Y = 5ns Shortest delay Longest delay = 20ns Shortest delay = 5ns

  22. Combinational Logic Delay Longest delay We’ll use the longest delay to represent the logic function F. Let’s call it Tcl for time, combinational logic Shortest delay Longest delay = 20ns

  23. Combinational Logic (CL) Cloud Model Tcl=20ns Tcl=20ns

  24. Logic Simulators Used to simulate the output response of a logic circuit.

  25. Logic Simulations • Three primary types • Circuit simulator (e.g. PSPICE) • “Exact” delay for each gate • Most accurate timing analysis • Very slow compared to other types • Functional Simulation (e.g. Quartus ) • Assumes one unit delay for each gate • Very fast compared to other types • Most inaccurate timing analysis • Timing Simulation (e.g. Quartus) • Assumes “average” tp delay for each gate • Not the fastest or slowest timing analysis • Provides “pretty good” timing analysis
