Abstract :
We report the results of the first prototype chip containing a silicon implementation of dual-rail phase-encoded links, where information is transmitted using the order of events on a pair of wires. The results show successful communication at bitrates exceeding 2 GB/s using standard-cell implementations on a 0.13 mum technology.
