Analysis of Effects of Input Arrival Time Variations on On-Chip Bus Power Consumption

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper describes analysis of on-chip bus power in the presence of arrival time variations of input signals. With shrinking process geometries, coupling power between neighboring bus lines has enlarged. The coupling power depends on not only signal transition type but also the relative signal transition time difference. For conventional dynamic power estimation, deterministic models of the time difference are assumed. We deal with nondeterministic models such as process variations, because these variations cause the input arrival time variations. As a result, the arrival time variations increase power estimation error. In our analysis and experiments, following results are presented. 1) When there are both the arrival time variations and unbalanced occurrence probability of
similarly switching compared with oppositely switching, the power stimation error is large. 2) Bus coding, which reduces similarly and/or oppositely switching, has beneficial effects on both power reduction and the error reduction.
