Abstract :
A repeater insertion methodology is presented for achieving the minimum power in an RC interconnect while satisfying delay and bandwidth constraints. With delay constraints, closed form solutions for the minimum power are developed which are within 10% of SPICE. With bandwidth constraints, the minimum power can be achieved with minimum sized repeaters.
