Power optimization using current-mode signalling technique for IoT applications

Abstract

There have been significant advances in the scope of smart devices. These smart technologies allow billions of devices to communicate with each other over the internet, thus coining the term Internet of things (IoT). IoT is a system that combines sensing, computing, storage, and communication to sense the physical environment and respond accordingly. All the devices connected in IoT applications are connected through an interconnection. These interconnections allow the objects to communicate with each other and produce an output. But with an increasing demand for small devices, comes the concerns with the interconnect performance such as power dissipation and delay. In this paper, an interconnect design is simulated with a current mode signalling technique to reduce power consumption and delay in the interconnect circuit.
