Reducing serial I/O power in error-tolerant applications by efficient lossy encoding
Phillip Stanley‐Marbell, Martin Rinard · 2016
Transferring data between integrated circuits (ICs) accounts for an important fraction of the power dissipation in wearable and mobile systems. Reducing signal transitions reduces the dynamic power dissipated in the data transfer between ICs. Techniques such as Gray coding to reduce transitions between two parallel words cannot be applied when the signal transitions are between bits of a single serialized word.
