Interconnect-centric LSI systems based on high-speed data transmission assisted by time-domain information processing

最近的高速VLSI系统的性能受到芯片内部/之间的互连带宽相对于单个晶体管性能的显著限制。传输线中的物理现象引起的信号衰减或恶化限制了可实现的数据速率和传输距离。在这项研究中，我们提出了以下技术来克服这些问题。(1)A基于数字编码信号的脉宽调制（PWM）的新型发射机预加重技术。(2)一种适合信道特性的高效数据编码方案及其在三维集成电路无线互连中的应用。

The performance of recent high-speed VLSI systems is significantly limited by the interconnection bandwidth inside/between chips relative to individual transistor performance. The attenuation or deterioration of signals, arises from physical phenomena in transmission lines, limits achievable data rates and transmission distance. In this research, we have proposed following techniques to overcome the issues. (1)A new type of transmitter pre-emphasis technique based on pulse-width modulation (PWM) of a digitally coded signal. (2) An Efficient data coding scheme suited to channel characteristics and its application to wireless interconnection for 3D ICs.
