Abstract :
This paper presents a reduction method of power consumption and an asynchronous communication scheme for spiral-inductor based wireless chip-interconnect. The power reduction is achieved by utilizing positively resonance phenomena between two spiral inductors. Further, employing dynamic circuits and self pre-charging technique realizes an asynchronous communication without any clocking. The methodology was verified and evaluated by measuring a test chip in 0.18μm 6 metal CMOS technology. The performance of 0.95 mW/1.0 Gbps/ch was achieved without any clocking.
