In this work an efficient approach is used to optimize the power and delay of the global interconnects. The low swing method is optimized and used for various lengths of the global interconnects. Current Mode Driver and Receiver (CMDR) technique are presented. Additionally, a random search algorithm known as Simulated Annealing (SA), improved by an intelligent fashion using a piecewise linear and logarithmic cost function, has been employed to optimize power and delay of the long global interconnects. For verification purposes, several circuits are designed and simulated with Hspice for 0.13μm technologies. The simulation results show a 25% reduction in power and a 28% reduction in delay with respect to previous designs in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
