When the stream on a bus is made up of sequential values (e.g., address buses) Gray encoding [14] can be used to reduce the switching activity to exactly one.
For a system with on-chip cache, up to 55% transition reduction is achieved on a multiplexed address bus between the internal cache and the external memory.
The caches can "listen" to the bus activity and detect the referenced address, the activity (read Or write), and the data. The bus cycle time is no faster than ...
This work describes and evaluates two bus encoding methods that aim at reducing the number of transitions observed in data and address buses.
