Abstract :
In this paper, a new simple yet accurate model for determining power consumption of mux-based crossbar interconnects is introduced. The analytical model makes use of the modified n-th power law MOSFET model that is appropriate for short channel devices. The proposed model is compact and scalable which makes it suitable for power estimation CAD tools. The results of proposed model for a current and predictive technology of CMOS show accuracies more than 97% in comparison with the results of HSPICE simulations.
