Commuting with delay prone buses

Considers how the role and importance of the backplane bus in a system has evolved along with the advances in technology over the past decade. Backplane buses have come a long way from the early days of fairly simple protocols, a couple of connectors, ...

This paper presents an analysis of how the power dissipation of on-chip buses is affected by introducing a relative delay between the switching lines. Relative delay is shown to reduce the dissipated power of oppositely switching lines while causing a ...

On-chip buses in deep sub-micron designs consume significant amounts of power and have large propagation delays. Thus, minimizing power consumption and propagation delay are the most important design objectives. In this paper, we propose a technique for ...
