Analyses of Signaling Techniques for Self-Timed Systems

Ethiopia Nigussie, Johanna Tuominen, Jouni Isoaho, Analyses of Signaling Techniques for Self-Timed Systems. In: 2004 International Symposium on System-on-Chip, 89-92, 2004.

Abstract:

This paper presents signaling techniques for global and local
on-chip interconnects, namely voltage-mode and current-mode
differential signaling and simultaneous bidirectional signaling. In
the proposed approach, these techniques were applied along with the
self-timed design methodology to the interconnects of the path
metric unit of the Viterbi decoder, and to the global on-chip bus
segment. The simulations are performed using 0.18 um technology.
These interconnects are compared in terms of power consumption,
noise, and speed. The study considered in this paper revealed the
possibilities of current-mode signaling in global on-chip
interconnects, while for local interconnects, the optimal result is
achieved by applying voltage-mode signaling.
