propagation (delay) time (t_pd)

The time interval between specified reference points on the input and output voltage waveforms with the output changing from one defined level (high or low) to the other defined level.

NOTE All of the response times (i.e., access, disable, enable, sense recovery, and output data-valid times) are subsets of propagation times. As integrated circuits have become more complex, the response times have been broken down into more and more specialized subgroups.
