Lightweight Hierarchical Error Control Codes for Multi-Bit Differential Channels Jason D. Bakos Ph.D. Committee: Donald M. Chiarulli Steven P. Levitan Bruce R. Childers Patchrawat Uthaisombut Introduction New class of error control codes “Lightweight Hierarchical Error Control Codes” Applicable to system-level interconnect Operates over new high-performance system-level interconnect technology “Multi-Bit Differential Signaling (MBDS)” Uses inherent properties of MBDS to achieve error control while requiring minimal data and logic overhead System-Level Interconnect Network-on-chip Challenges for System-Level Interconnect Signal integrity Capacitance, inductance Noise, crosstalk Synchronization/jitter Area I/O pads precious Driver size Error Control Codes Error control codes used to increase signal integrity over noisy channels Examples: Cellular networks, deep-space signaling, digital TV transmission, hard/optical disks Low-speed channels ECC codes require information overhead Acceptable for low-speed channels Minimize by applying code over large blocks of data Example: 187 bytes for HDTV Error Control Codes ECC over large blocks requires complex decoding Memory, latency Encoding/decoding logic complexity Encoding/decoding performed using software or dedicated ASICs Performed at Mb/s-speeds Traditional ECC codes not practical for system-level interconnect Encode/decode in small area High-throughput (core speed) Need new class of ECC code for system-level interconnect Small block size Low overhead Talk Outline Multi-Bit Differential Signaling (MBDS) “N choose M” data encoding Lightweight Hierarchical Error Control Codes (LHECC) Encoder/decoder implementation Experimental verification Link modeling Noise modeling Experimental results Conclusion Multi-Bit Differential Signaling (MBDS) Differential (LVDS) channels MBDS / “n choose m (nCm)” Encoding nCm Encoding: Unused Symbol Space Each nCm symbol set has unmapped symbols nCm Encoding: Inherent Error Detect
