Abstract :
A coding method to reduce the transmission energy of a serial communication by minimizing the number of transitions on the serial wire is proposed. We apply the coding technique to a CMOS SoC, which integrates various processing units with packet switched on-chip networks. With a multimedia application running, the power reduction on serial wires is up to 49%.
