DATA ELEMENT SWITCH

摘要

DATA ELEMENT SWITCH The invention concerns an Asynchronous Transfer Mode Switch having a plurality of input stages (ISl ... ISN) each for receiving a digital data transmission stream (DSl ...256) consisting of a series of cells and wherein each input stage of the switch includes a circuit (52) for determining the destination of the cells of that data stream, and a circuit (63) for disassembling each cell into cell elements and for allocating to each cell element routing data to enable it to be routed across the central stages.
