ABSTRACT:
A cross-point array for telecommunication systems, produced as an xy-matrix in a monolithic substrate with switching means arranged at the cross-points between the x and y conductors in the form of transistors controllable to assume an "on" state with a low impedance and an "off" state with a high impedance, the transistors having their collector-emitter path connected between the x and y conductors and supplied with current from a constant-current generator, is improved by having the collector-base diode of each transistor connected in parallel with a Schottky-diode supplied with current from a second constant-current generator and operating in its forward direction in the "on" state, whereby cross-talk caused by a parasitic transistor function is inhibited between the cross-points in the substrate.
