Abstract

Reduced voltage swings are often used for saving power on interconnects. In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of an optimum voltage swing for minimum power consumption, for on-chip and off-chip interconnects. Actual values of optimum swings and corresponding power savings for high performance interconnects are estimated.
