ABSTRACT:
In a fully digital telephone switching system, a digital switch may serve a number of PCM sub systems each having separate forward and reverse highways and each serving a number of subscribers' lines. The highways are grouped in blocks of eight, from which intelligence is received in serial byte-interleaved form and converted by serial-parallel converters to parallel byte-interleaved form. While in this form they are switched to other channels and applied to a super-multiplexer which they leave in parallel byte-interleaved form from which they are restored by another converter to serial byte-interleaved form for application to the switch's outputs. For the reverse channel the arrangement is the reverse of the above, i.e. serial-parallel conversion, switching and parallel-serial conversion to the line multiplex highways. For local calls a loop-back connection is provided via a fixed delay of half a frame time. Thus, if the outputs fail, the arrangement can still handle local calls. Further it is usable on its own as a small exchange.
