Performance Variation Adaptive Differential Signaling via Carbon-Nanotube Bundles

摘要：

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) interconnects provide one of the most promising on-chip interconnect techniques for future VLSI systems,although significant process and runtime variabilities remain challenging for CNT interconnects. In this paper,we propose a performance variation adaptive differential signaling scheme,particularly for carbon nanotube bundle on-chip interconnects. Estimation based on published data demonstrate 37% signal propagation performance variation reduction achieved by the proposed scheme impplemented in CNT bundles compared with CNT interconnects with the con-vetional signaling scheme.
