Optimal Termination Of On-chip Transmission-lines For High-speed Signaling

摘要

This paper discusses the resistive termination of on-chip high-performance interconnects. Resistive termination is effective to improve the bandwidth of on-chip interconnects, on the other hands, increases the power dissipation and the area. Therefore trade-off analysis about resistive termination is necessary. This paper proposes a method to determine the termination of on-chip interconnects. The termination derived by the proposed method provides minimum sensitivity to process variation as well as maximum eye-opening in voltage.
