Pulsed current-mode signaling for nearly speed-of-light intrachip communication.

Pulsed current-mode signaling for nearly speed-of-light intrachip communication.

In this paper, we describe the design of on-chip repeater-less interconnects with nearly speed-of-light latency. Sharp current-pulse data transmission is used to modulate transmitter energy to higher frequencies, where the effect of wire inductance is maximized, allowing the on-chip wires to functio...
