propagation delay |
Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
propagation delayThe time it takes to transmit a signal from one place to another. Propagation delay is dependent solely on distance and two thirds the speed of light. Signals going through a wire or fiber generally travel at two thirds the speed of light. Contrast with nodal processing delay. propagation delay [‚präp·ə′gā·shən di‚lā] (electronics) The time required for a signal to pass through a given complete operating circuit; it is generally of the order of nanoseconds, and is of extreme importance in computer circuits.

Therefore, the response time is computed by multiplying link propagation delay by 4. The propagation delay (~17ns) is reduced by eliminating the level translator in the input circuit. Cable propagation delay has to be thoroughly understood in order to design a reliable system. |
