Appeal No. 1999-0259 Application 08/596,857 identifying effective load impedances for each of the plurality of serially coupled circuit cells where the circuit cells include active elements; and forming a distributed serial load with said effective load impedances where said distributed serial load provides a load model of the plurality of serially coupled circuit cells. 10. A method of simulating characteristics of a plurality of serially coupled circuit cells, comprising the steps of: providing a first load for a first one of the plurality of serially coupled circuit cells where the circuit cells include active elements; providing a second load for a second one of the plurality of serially coupled circuit cells where the circuit cells include active elements; and forming a distributed serial load with said first and second loads of said first and second ones of the plurality of serially coupled circuit cells where said distributed serial load provides a characteristic load model of the plurality of serially coupled circuit cells. 16. A method of modeling a memory array comprising the steps of: providing a first effective load impedance for a first bit cell of the memory array; providing a second effective load impedance for a second bit cell of the memory array; and 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
