<p>The capacity of switching elements, for instance 8x8 elements, is expanded, to originate single-stage elements with greater capacity (16x16 or 32x32), by arranging an even plurality of said elements in an output sub-stage (10, 11) and by placing upstream of said output sub-stage at least a first input sub-stage (00, 01) comprising a corresponding even plurality of said switching elements. The even and, respectively, the odd outputs of the elements of the input sub-stage (00, 01) are connected in orderly manner to the inputs of the switching elements of the output sub-stage (10, 11). A routing management logic to obtain single-stage elements is also provided within each individual switching element. <IMAGE></p> |
