We present a novel scheme to implement distortion- less transmission lines for on-chap edectracal signaling. By introducing intentional leakage conductance between the wires of a differential pair, the distortionless trans- mission line eliminates dispersion caused b y the resis- tive nature of on-ch ip wires and achieves speed of light transmission. We show that it is feasible to construct distortionless transmission line with conventional sili- con process. Simulation results show that using 65nm technology, the proposed scheme can achieve 15Gbits/s bandwidth over a 20mm on-chip serial link without any equalization. This approach offers a six times improve- ment in delay and 85% reduction in power consumption over a conventional RC wire with repeated buffers.
