Differential current-sensing for on-chip interconnects.

This paper presents a differential current-sensing technique as an alternative to existing circuit techniques for on-chip interconnects. Using a novel receiver circuit, it is shown that, delay-optimal current-sensing is a faster (20% on an average) option as compared to the delay-optimal repeater in...
