A Class of Irredundant Encoding Techniques for Reducing Bus Power
This paper proposes a number of encoding techniques for decreasing power dissipation on global buses. The best target for these techniques is a wide and highly capacitive memory bus. Switching activity of the bus is reduced by means of encoding the values that are conveyed over them. More precisely, three irredundant busencoding techniques are presented in this paper. These techniques decrease ...
متن کاملLow Power Bus Encoding Techniques for Memory Testing
Power reduction during testing is one of the most important challenges for the VLSI design and test engineers. Switching is one of the important contributors to the power consumption of on chip buses. This paper addresses the problem of minimizing power dissipation due to switching of the busses during testing. For memory testing, many read/write cycles are required (as per March algorithm), in...
متن کاملA Bus Encoding Comparison for Low Power
With the continued scaling of digital circuits, power consumption is becoming an increasingly important issue. The power required to perform computations rapidly decreases, however the energy required to power large buses and interconnect has not been as fortunate. This is due to non-uniform scaling (aspect ratios increased [2]) and sidewall fringing effects. These buses can also have a capacit...
متن کاملBus-Switch Encoding for Power Optimization of Address Bus
This paper presents a novel encoding technique to minimize the switch activities on the highly capacitive memory address bus so as to reduce power dissipation of bus. This technique is based on the temporal locality and spatial locality of instruction address. The experimental results based on an instruction set simulator and SPEC2000 benchmarks show that the presented encoding technique can re...
متن کاملCircuits for Low Power Bus Traffic Encoding
In modern circuits the fraction of total power attributed to wires is increasing. One method to decrease the power consumption is to reduce the number of transitions on long bus wires by encoding bus traffic. The presented circuit reduces the energy consumed by buses on a single die by caching the eight most recent values on both sides of a long bus and transmitting a low weight code word on a ...
