Abstract :
The authors discuss the requirements for integrated switching components in a broadband packet-switched telecommunication network. They describe a practical implementation of the resulting complex functionality over a wide range of frequencies within one VLSI chip. After presenting a pragmatic test approach for their highly asynchronous design, their work concludes with test results from a working silicon implementation.<>
