I/O bandwidth in the Multi-Tb/s range is required for current and future high performance VLSI chips. This trend demands high-speed, high-density and low power I/Os. AC coupled interconnect (ACCI) has been demonstrated as a systematic solution for providing higher pin density and lower power dissipation. ACCI utilizes non-contact capacitor plates as signal I/O which yields a much higher pin density than traditional solder bump I/O. ACCI saves significant power with pulse signaling. A test-chip with...
