Power integrity has become an indispensable part to ensure signal integrity in high-speed systems. Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in the power delivery network (PDN) is now one of major factors to place the limit on the noise margin for off-chip communication so that a great emphasis is being placed on controlling SSN. A power transmission line (PTL) has been suggested as a new PDN design to achieve near-zero SSN. In this paper, a new signaling scheme is proposed to address the issues associated with the PTL, and yield a significant improvement in signal integrity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
