A fast low-power driver for long interconnections in VLSI systems

Propagation delays of signals on long interconnections and power consumption are very important limitations to the computing capacity of VLSI chips. Thus, this paper presents a low-power circuit for the fast propagation of signals on long interconnections in VLSI systems. Using electrical simulation...

Zusammenfassung:Propagation delays of signals on long interconnections and power consumption are very important limitations to the computing capacity of VLSI chips. Thus, this paper presents a low-power circuit for the fast propagation of signals on long interconnections in VLSI systems. Using electrical simulations with HSPICE guided by a heuristic, we present two designs that perform better in terms of speed and area than the conventional method. With both designs, power dissipation is reduced by 64%.< >
