A bus encoding technique for power and cross-talk minimization

Considerable research has been done in the area of bus-encoding techniques, for either power minimization or cross-talk elimination in system-level buses, but not both together. We propose No Adjacent Transition (NAT) coding scheme, a bus encoding technique that simultaneously reduces power consumption and eliminates cross-talk. NAT-encoding and decoding algorithms are proposed and an analytical study of power dissipation is presented.
