In one embodiment of the invention, a multi-CCC current source model is disclosed to perform statistical timing analysis of an integrated circuit design. The multi-CCC current source model includes a voltage waveform transfer function, a voltage dependent current source, and an output capacitor. The voltage waveform transfer function receives an input voltage waveform and transforms it into an intermediate voltage waveform. The voltage dependent current source generates an output current in response to the intermediate voltage waveform. The output capacitor is coupled in parallel to the voltage dependent current source to generate an output voltage waveform for computation of a timing delay.
