Abstract :
This paper demonstrates a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS)-type on-chip transmission line (TL) interconnect to solve delay issues on global interconnects. The proposed on-chip TL interconnect can achieve 10.5 Gbps signaling and has smaller delay, smaller delay variation and better power efficiency than conventional on-chip interconnects at high-frequencies.
