Transceiver in 90 nm CMOS for 10 mm On - Chip Interconnects
The bandwidth of global on-chip interconnects in modern CMOS processes is limited by their high resistance and capacitance [1]. Repeaters that are used to speed up these interconnects consume a considerable amount of power [2] and area. Recently published techniques [1-4] increase the achievable data rate at the cost of high static power consumption, leading to relatively high energy per bit fo...
متن کاملEfficient High-Speed On-Chip Global Interconnects
The continuous miniaturization of integrated circuits has opened the path towards System-on-Chip realizations. Process shrinking into the nanometer regime improves transistor performance while the delay of global interconnects, connecting circuit blocks separated by a long distance, significantly increases. In fact, global interconnects extending across a full chip can have a delay correspondin...
متن کاملA Model for Slew Evaluation for On-Chip RC Interconnects using Gamma Distribution Function
As technology scales down, timing verification of digital integrated circuits becomes an extremely difficult task due to statistical variations in the gate and wire delays. Statistical timing analysis techniques are being developed to tackle this problem. The variations of critical dimensions in modern VLSI technologies lead to variability in interconnect performance that must be fully accounte...
متن کاملA Low-Overhead and Low-Power RF Transceiver for Short-Distance On- and Off-Chip Interconnects
One of the most difficult problems that remains to be solved in wire interconnect architectures is the achievement of lower latency and higher concurrency on a shared bus or link without increasing the power and circuit overhead. Novel improvements in short distance onand off-chip interconnects can be provided by using a multi-band RF interconnect (RF-I) system. Unlike the conventional currento...
متن کاملA 0.6pJ/b 3Gb/s/ch transceiver in 0.18 µm CMOS for 10mm on-chip interconnects
This paper presents a high speed and low energy transceiver for 10mm long minimum width on-chip global interconnects. To improve the link bandwidth, the transmitter employs a capacitive-resistive pre-emphasis technique and the receiver employs the AC-coupled Resistive Feedback Inverter (RFI) de-emphasis technique. Exploiting two emphasis techniques, the proposed interconnect achieves 1.26GHz ba...
