Hardware interview practice
Choose a distributed RC model for a long wire
Why can one lumped capacitor at the far end misrepresent the delay and waveform of a long resistive interconnect?
Choose one
Answer choices
- A. Real wire capacitance is distributed along resistance, so different portions charge through different upstream resistance.
- B. Long wires have no resistance.
- C. Elmore delay applies only to inductors.
- D. A distributed network always has zero delay.
