A 10-Gb/s/ch, 0.6-pJ/bit/mm Power Scalable Rapid-ON/OFF Transceiver for On-Chip Energy Proportional Interconnects.

Modern multiprocessor system-on-chips employ network-on-chip (NoC) to efficiently connect different components together. NoCs need global and local interconnects to deliver high on-chip bandwidth and low communication latency to avoid being a performance bottleneck. They must also have high throughput density to reduce area occupied by wires. This paper presents techniques to implement power effic...
