Abstract

The analysis of next generation broadband communication equipment shows that advanced packaging technology is required to meet system performance, thermal and density requirements. A description of a broadband crossconnect switching system is provided, and the use of multichip module technology to satisfy the system packaging requirements is reviewed. A module solution to one of the key elements of the system, a 622 Mbit/s fiber optic line interface, is described, and the overall impact on the system design is discussed
