Optimum wire tapering for minimum power dissipation in RLC interconnects

The optimum tapered structure for RLC inter- RLCinterconnect connect to minimize transient power dissipation is determined. Wire tapering can reduce the power dissipated by a circuit by up to 72% as compared to uniform wire sizing. An analytic so- D /lution to determine the optimum tapered structure exhibits an Drver Load error of less than 2% as compared to SPICE. Figure 1: Tapere RLC interconnect between a driver and a
