Propagation delay
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004528
The time required for a signal to travel from the input of a circuit or transmission line to its output. This delay is influenced by the physical length of the path and the characteristics of the medium. It is a key parameter in determining the maximum operating frequency of digital circuits and the timing of data transmission.
