Low-power high-speed Interconnection Networks in NOC Using multi-valued current-mode Techniques
Hatami Aziz, Navi Keivan, Akbar Dargahi · 2009
Abstract: With the fast developments and growth of electronic applications and a great demand for increasing the speed of processors, VLSI circuits and on-chip interconnections the “Networks-On-Chip ” (NOC) is the best solution for “System-On-Chip ” (SOC). The most fundamental part of networks On-Chip is the On-Chip interconnection. The model presented in this article describes the method of sending data on On-Chip interconnection by using a current-mode multi-valued logic instead of voltage-mode in order to increase speed and reduce the number of interconnection wires. Key words: Network-On-Chip; interconnection; current-mode; multi-valued; serialization 1.
