High capacity time connection networks

摘要

A time connection network of the kind comprising p switching units having each an input buffer store and an output buffer store, and a space stage to transmit digital information in form of words or groups of n binary digits from one input buffer store toward one output buffer store at a rate of one word per digit time slot. The information signals, read in an input buffer store, are conveyed serially through the space stage together with a clock signal at the rate of the serial transmission and a rectangular signal having a period preferably of two words. The information and clock signals are then distributed in two paths by means of the rectangular signal. The information signals are de-serialized on each path and then multiplexed to an output buffer store.
