Data communication bus

An electronic device has a data communication bus ( 200 ) mounted on a semiconductor substrate ( 120 ). The data communication bus ( 200 ) has a first conductor ( 102 ), a second conductor ( 104 ), a third conductor ( 106 ) and a fourth conductor ( 108 ). The conductors have been reordered and the d...

Zusammenfassung:An electronic device has a data communication bus ( 200 ) mounted on a semiconductor substrate ( 120 ). The data communication bus ( 200 ) has a first conductor ( 102 ), a second conductor ( 104 ), a third conductor ( 106 ) and a fourth conductor ( 108 ). The conductors have been reordered and the distances (I1, I2, I3) between two neighboring conductors have been recalculated on the basis of the correlation between the data-bits conveyed by the conductors of the data communication bus ( 200 ), e.g. the number of times that the two transitions on two conductors have a predetermined value out of the total number of transitions on that conductor pair. Consequently, a data communication bus ( 200 ) is obtained in which the power consumption resulting from the charging of the cross-coupling capacitance between two neighboring conductors is reduced.
