Abstract :
The dynamic power consumption of a CMOS buffer driving lossless and lossy transmission lines is investigated. A time-domain model for power dissipation in both the line driver and the interconnect losses is also presented. The model fully agrees with HSPICE simulations and is particularly suitable for implementation in CAD tools for fast estimation of VLSI dissipation circuits
