1. A method for performing crosstalk analysis for the design of an integrated circuit, comprising: characterizing a set of IC components based upon values of a plurality of variables comprising wirelength values, aggressor driver type values, victim driver type values, and ratio of coupling capacitance values; identifying at least one of a set of patterns based at least in part upon the values of the plurality of variables; analyzing an IC design to identify existence of any patterns from the set of patterns; and determining delay impact of crosstalk based at least in part upon an act of identifying the existence of any patterns.
