Abstract :
This paper presents COM16M, a fully autonomous monochip ATM switch capable of handling 16 multiplexes carrying ATM cells at 622 Mbits/s. It is afully autonomous switch, i.e. the chip includes clock adaptation, routing and cell buffering as well as header translation and control capabilities. The switch is integrated into one single chip containing 6,000,000 transistors implemented in a 0.5 ¿m CMOS process.
