Wire RC Delay Interconnect Calculator

Calculate RC delay t = 0.38 × R × C (Elmore delay) for a global metal interconnect line. Shows how wire delay scales (poorly) vs gate delay at advanced nodes, driving the need for repeaters.

How to Use

Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate RC delay t = 0.38 × R × C (Elmore delay) for a global metal interconnect line. Shows how wire delay scales (poorly) vs gate delay at advanced nodes, driving the need for repeaters. Use the wire rc delay result to inform your calculation.
