Abstract :
The application of coding strategies is an established methodology to improve the characteristics of on-chip interconnect architectures. Therefore, design methods are required which realize the corresponding encoders and decoders with as small as possible overhead in terms of power and delay. In the past, conventional design methods have been applied for this purpose.
