Abstract :
The effect of crosstalk avoidance codes on the throughput of fixed width communication channels is studied. Closed form expressions of the throughput which incorporate the dimensions of the interconnects and the wires overheads by such techniques are derived for lines under different buffering conditions. These formulae are utilised to optimise the bandwidth of fixed width parallel buses under different latency and reliability constraints. Our results are confirmed by the simulations we have performed in Spectre for a UMC CMOS 90 nm technology.
