Abstract: | In the literature, surfing technique has been proposed for differential on-chip wave-pipelined serial interconnects with uniform repeaters (UR) and non-uniform repeaters to increase the data transfer rate for unidirectional schemes. In this paper, a novel bidirectional data transfer through the differential wave-pipelined serial interconnects with surfing for UR is proposed. A new circuit called ‘Bidirectional surfing inverter pair’ is proposed for differential wave-pipelined serial interconnects. The method of logical effort is used for the design of surfing circuits. To evaluate the efficiency of these techniques, 40 mm metal 4 interconnects using the proposed surfing techniques are implemented along with transmitter, receiver and delay locked loop in UMC 180 nm technology and their performances are studied through post layout simulations. The proposed bidirectional differential surfing scheme has a maximum data transfer rate of 2 Gb/s and has allowable jitter of 52 ps on both directions through the same interconnects. |
