Abstract

An expandable space-division (SD) switch architecture and a bipolar circuit design for gigabit-per-second crosspoint-switch LSIs are described. An expandable 2-Gb/s 16×16 crosspoint switch LSI which employs a novel switch structure, a novel circuit design, and a super self-aligned process (SST-1A) is developed. A switching module and partial 1:n nonblock, full 1:1 nonblock switching network architecture are also presented. Using the LSI and the switching network architecture, an experimental 620-Mb/s network system is demonstrated
