Asymptotic behavior of this function is well known and for times
much bigger than the characteristic time L/2r we have
Eq. (
) is a very disturbing result, showing that in the case
when inductance l of an individual current source r is much
smaller than the characteristic inductance L of the power
distribution line we have a non-exponential decay of the induced
perturbation in the biasing line. Noting also its independence of the
junction number n we conclude that small perturbations (
)
of the biasing current, induced by different junctions switching at
different times can accumulate to give a large value rendering the
entire device inoperational. This effect is determined only by
the relation between L and l is independent of the value of the
biasing voltage. At very large times, of the order of

(
) becomes invalid and decay becomes exponential. For any
sizeable design with
these times typically are of the
order of
