主 题:low power circuit low-swing interface differential signaling tapered-buffer interconnect asynchronous circuit
摘 要:A novel low-swing interface circuit for high-speed on-chip asynchronous interconnection is proposed in this paper. It takes a differential level-triggered latch to recover digital signal with ultra low-swing voltage less than 50 mV, and the driver part of the interface circuit is optimized for low power using the driver-array method, With a capacity to work up to 500 MHz, the proposed circuit, which is simulated and fabricated using SMIC 0.18-pm 1.8-V digital CMOS technology, consumes less power than previously reported designs.
