This paper contains a tutorial on bus-encoding techniques that target low power dissipation.
Three general classes of codes, ie, algebraic, permutation-based, and probability-based …

In this paper we describe a new method for encoding data streams on system buses in order
to reduce bus line transition activity. Our focus is on data streams whose statistical …

Methods and apparatus for spreading and concentrating information to constant-weight
encode data words on a parallel data line bus while allowing communication of information …

A mechanism for use with a bus provided from parallel, capacitively-coupled bus lines to
restrict a number of possible transitions on the bus to a number that is smaller than the …

On-chip interconnect delay and crosstalk noise have become an important factor for
performance and signal integrity as a result of increase in device densities and operating …

The proliferation of embedded systems, and the corresponding new chip and chip set
designs, have brought additional attention to storage units. Indeed, the heterogeneity of …

Power consumption is becoming increasingly important for both embedded and high-
performance systems. Off-chip data buses can be a major power consumer. In this paper we …

Encoding techniques which minimize the self-or coupling activity of buses are often
proposed to reduce power dissipation on system buses. In this paper, we investigate the …

This paper presents Pyramid code, an optimal code for transmitting sequential addresses
over a DRAM bus. Constructed by finding an Eulerian cycle on a complete graph, this code …

In this paper, we introduce a new encoding scheme that explicitly targets the minimization of
the bus energy due to the crosstalk capacitances between adjacent bus lines. The key …
