An improved method of using the Elmore Model to estimate the delay which is associated with the a clock buffer output. The improved method provides that the clock buffer output resistor is taken into account when the Elmore Model is used to calculate the delay. Also provided is a method of using the Elmore Model to estimate wire delay, where the method includes steps of calculating an approximate delay based on a distributed RC model, and using a capacitance value corresponding to the approximate delay in the Elmore Model to estimate the wire delay.
