Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a bus interface unit include queues for receiving and storing one or more words from one or more agents for transmission on to a data bus. From at least a subset of the one or more words, a next word which will cause the least switching power among the subset of the one or more words when transmitted on to the data bus is determined and the next word is selected for transmission on to the data bus, to reduce dynamic power consumption of the data bus. The next word may be selected as a word among the subset of the one or more words with a least Hamming distance from a current word scheduled for transmission on to the data bus.
