ADDRESS GENERATING CIRCUIT FOR ATM SWITCH

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the address generating circuit for a common butter type ATM switch adopting the address management system by which port information subjected to time division multiplex in each incoming link is exchanged to each outgoing link in time division multiplex. SOLUTION: The address generating circuit for common buffer type ATM switches in the ATM(asynchronous transfer mode) exchange system is provided with an address generating unit 4 storing cell addresses in each common butter, port information and output link information in time series, port pointer registers 8a, 8b storing information representing a current output port for each output link, and a port list table 9 storing information of ports housed in each output link.
