ABSTRACT:
An ATM switch includes linewise switching matrices each having m inputs and n outputs (mvn), and a synchronous interconnection network linking incoming lines of the ATM switch to the inputs of the matrices, the outputs of the matrices being linked to respective outgoing lines of the ATM switch. The synchronous interconnection network includes: k successive stages of groupwise elementary synchronous switches each having at least one and at most p groups of m inputs and at least one and at most p groups of m inputs and at least one and at most p groups of m outputs; groups of m lines each linking a group of m outputs of a groupwise elementary synchronous switch to a group of m inputs of a groupwise elementary synchronous switch of the following stage; and groups of m lines each linking a group of m outputs of a groupwise elementary synchronous switch of the last stage to the m inputs of a linewise switching matrix.
