The propagation delay time (t_pd) is measured as the time between an input logic edge to a detected output change. This time has three parts consisting of the digital input deglitcher delay, the digital propagation delay, and the delay through the analog gate drivers.

The input deglitcher prevents high-frequency noise on the input pins from affecting the output state of the gate drivers. To support multiple control modes and dead time insertion, a small digital delay is added as the input command propagates through the device. Lastly, the analog gate drivers have a small delay that contributes to the overall propagation delay of the device.
