TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– In this short communication, transition times of input signals for various stages of a repeater‐chain loaded VLSI interconnects are studied.Design/methodology/approach– SPICE simulations.Findings– It is observed that for a fixed number of repeaters a smaller load will reduce transition time. The effect is not very significant, if the load is moderate.Originality/value– Method can be very useful for short‐circuit power estimation in repeater‐chains.
