Switch array has hold lines that feed signals to switch elements to hold connections between inputs and outputs made by signals fed to switch elements via control lines

摘要

The array has a first number of inputs (2) and a second number of outputs (4), a conductor arrangement and controllable switch elements (10) with which the inputs can be connected to the outputs. It has first and second numbers of control lines (12, 14) and hold lines (16), whereby each switch element is connected to at least two control lines and at least one hold line. The hold lines feed signals to the switch elements to hold connections between inputs and outputs made by signals fed via control lines.
