Abstract(in English) A complementary half-swing bus architecture is proposed for high speed and low power operation. This architecture transfers data in mutual direction and solves the problem of two times as many as bus lines of conventional small swing architectures. It is applied to an SRAM macro with 112-bit bus and 84 K-bit capacity for an ATM switch LSI. The architecture operates beyond 200MHz at the supply voltage of 3.3V with a 0.5μm CMOS process technology. Moreover, we confirmed that the cross talk enlarged the logical swing. Simulation results show that the worst case power dissipation and the peak current are reduced by half and by 66%, respectively compared with full swing bus driver architectures.
