ABSTRACT:
Connection into and out of digital integrated circuits is made optically, the input being implemented by floodlighting appropriately placed photodiodes at the input points and the output by on chip commutative switching of the connect centers onto a common output pad which drives a light emitting source. Communicating chips are synchronously clocked at the commutation rate to achieve required interconnect configuration via time division multiplexing.
