ABSTRACT:
A space and time switch receives digitized voice and/or data as forty-six separate serial bit streams with each voice or data path occupying one time-slot on one bus, resulting in a total of 1472 paths entering the switch. The switch originates buses and the information in any incoming path can be switched to any outgoing path providing a 1472-by-1472 switching function. The switch includes six basic functional blocks: input, output, speech RAMs, control RAM, controller interface, and state machine. The controller interface receives commands in the form of twenty-four bits appearing as three bytes in three separate operations, stores the bytes until all three are ready, and transfers the command bytes as a combination of address and data bits. The speech RAMs store a complete frame of the data transferred within each time-slot. The control RAM stores commands from the controller interface. The state machine controls operation of the functional blocks and controls readout of the commands from the control RAM, which become addresses for the speech RAMs.
