The Impact of Wave Pipelining on Future Interconnect Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the era of gigascale integration, both interconnect technologist and interconnect circuit designers must work together closely to ensure that the integrated circuit (IC) industry will overcome current and future interconnect limits on system performance, power dissipation, noise, and cost. This paper will review wave-pipelined interconnect circuits that are used to enhance wire performance and density. The impact of wave-pipelined interconnect circuits on interconnect material integration decisions over the next 10-12 years are explored.

متن کاملPower Consumption and BER of Flip-Flop Inserted Global Interconnect
In nanometer scale integrated circuits, concurrent insertion of repeaters and sequential elements into the global interconnect lines has been proposed to support multicycle communication—a concept known as interconnect pipelining. The design targets of an interconnect-pipelining scheme are to ensure high reliability, low-power consumption, and less delay cycles. This paper presents an in-depth ...
متن کاملEffects of temperature in deep-submicron global interconnect optimization in future technology nodes
The resistance of on-chip interconnects and the current drive of transistors are strongly temperature dependent. As a result, the interconnect performance in DeepSubmicron technologies is affected by temperature in a substantial proportion. In this paper we evaluate thermal effects in global RLC interconnects and quantify their impact in a standard optimization procedure based on repeaters inse...
