Low-power, low-latency global interconnect
暂无分享,去创建一个
Global interconnects have been identified as a serious limitation to chip scaling, due to their latency and power consumption. We demonstrate a simple scheme to overcome these limitations, based on the utilization of upper-level metals and reduced voltage swing. The upper-level metal allows velocity of light delay if properly dimensioned and power is optimized by an appropriate choice of voltage swing and receiver amplifier.
