SWITCH CONNECTION NETWORK

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the versatility by connecting a plurality of unit switches through lattice type integrated switches, thereby facilitating the change of con nection patterns between the unit switches. CONSTITUTION:Unit switches 11 of 2 input-2 output type are arranged in 4 steps by 8 pieces and each group of unit switches 11 are connected via crossbar switches 12a-12d of integrated lattice type. Namely the setting of selective connection of input/output lines in the lattice type switches 11 are carried out optionally by a command from the outside to change the connection patterns of the unit switches 11. As a result, the changing of wiring patterns in the integrated crossbar switches 12a-12d enables formation of the connection net work of switches connected in a various manner. It is thus possible to easily change the connection patterns between the unit switches 11 in terms of space and to improve the versatility.
