  • Abstract
    In this paper we introduce a new low power address bus encoding technique, and the resulting code, named ALBORZ. The ALBORZ code is constructed based on transition signaling the limited-weight codes and, with enhancements to make it adaptive and irredundant, results in up to 89% reduction in the instruction bus switching activity, at the expense of a small area overhead.
