The time delay of a gate is affected by the following:

  1. Intrinsic delay of the gate, i.e., delay due to internal load.
  2. Fanout (load) dependent today. The Delay of a gate increases as its fanout (capacitive load in CMOS) increases.
  3. Fanin dependent delay. Gates with high fan-in have a high delay.
  4. Supply voltage fluctuations affect delay. Delay decreases with increase in supply voltage.
