ISI METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOW POWER CHIP-TO-CHIP COMMUNICATIONS WITH CONSTRAINED ISI RATIO

摘要

An efficient communication apparatus for vector signaling code for transferring data and optionally a clocking signal between integrated circuit devices is described. A method for designing such devices and their associated codes based on a new metric referred to herein as "ISI ratio" is described, which allows for higher communication rates, lower system power consumption, and reduced implementation complexity. .
