Abstract

A receiver subsystem for current mode interconnects is presented in the present paper. It is shown that current mode interconnects shows better performance compared to voltage mode interconnect circuits. The current mode interconnect system using proposed receiver subsystem shows about 15% lesser latency and 40% increased throughput. Effect of voltage scaling on power dissipation for current mode (CM) and voltage mode (VM) has been analyzed. Current mode interconnects shows lesser power dissipation compared to voltage mode circuits. Analysis has been carried out using SPICE in 0.18 μm technology.
