Low power high throughput current mode signalling technique for global VLSI interconnect

Giga bit per second Differential Scheme for High Speed Interconnect

“…low-voltage swing (250-400 mV); it is connected point achieves very high data rates (up to 500 Mb/s per signal pair) and reduced power dissipation [1] In this scheme, data is represented by multi-level currents on the transmission line i level voltages. The current mode scheme [3] As seen, the 4 different levels of current [10] are flowing in transmission lines (3I, I, -I,-3I). The maximum level of current is 120uA which corresponds to 00 combination For 00 combination, PMOS transistors receiving 0 bit are ON.…”
