Abstract
A method for transmitting messages from first units of an integrated circuit to at least one second unit of the integrated circuit. The first units generate first digital messages and transform them into second digital messages obtained by application of an orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal transformation to the first messages. The second messages of the first units are added up and transmitted to the second unit.
Claims15
A method for transmitting messages from first units of an integrated circuit to at least one second unit of the integrated circuit, comprising:
- generating through the first units first digital messages;
- transforming said first digital messages into second digital messages;
- obtained by application of an orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal transformation to the first messages;
- and
- adding the second messages of the first units and transmitting to the second unit.
An integrated circuit comprising first units and at least one second unit connected to an interconnect unit, wherein the first units are capable of providing second digital messages by application of an orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal transformation to first digital messages, the interconnect unit comprising adders capable of adding up the second messages from the first units and a bus for transmitting the added second messages to the second unit.
