Bus encoding for total power reduction using a leakage-aware buffer configuration.

Bus encoding for total power reduction using a leakage-aware buffer configuration.

Power consumption, particularly runtime leakage, in long on-chip buses has grown to be an unacceptable portion of the total power budget due to heavy buffer insertion used to combat RC delays. In this paper, we propose a new bus encoding algorithm and circuit scheme for on-chip buses that eliminates...
