Abstract :
A set of I/O CMOS buffers for MCM is described. When simulation results of the MCM buffers are compared against conventional standard cell CMOS buffers, several advantages emerge. The results indicate that the new buffers dissipate 5 times less power, reduce propagation delay from chip core to another core from 3-6 nsec, and increase the frequency of operation by 2.5 times when compared to conventional CMOS buffers. Actual measurements between these buffers confirm these simulation results
