    摘要: A high capacity metropolitan area network (MAN) is described. Data traffic from users is connected to data concentrators at the edge of the network, and is transmitted over fiber optic data links to a hub where the data is switched. The hub includes a plurality of data switching modules, each having a control means, and each connected to a distributed control space division switch. Advantageously, the data switching modules, whose inputs are connected to the concentrators, perform all checking and routing functions, while the 1024.times.1024 maximum size space division switch, whose outputs are connected to the concentrators, provides a large fan-out distribution network for reaching many concentrators from each data switching module. The data switching modules chain groups of incoming packets destined for a common outlet of the space division switch so that only one connection in that switch is required for transmitting each group of chained packets from a data switching module to a concentrator. MAN provides security features including a port identification supplied by the data concentrators, and a check that each packet is from an authorized source user, transmitting on a port associated with that user, to an authorized destination user that is in the same group (virtual network) as the source user.In accordance with one enbodiment of the invention, a data ring communicates space division switch outlet availability to each of the data switching modules in turn, in order to resolve the contention among these modules for a particular outlet. Each data switching module maintains a list of outlets for which it has accumulated a group of at least one packet destined for that outlet; a data switching module then seizes an available outlet by marking that outlet unavailable in the data communicated by the data ring.

    摘要: A circuit is disclosed which converts CMOS logic input signals to ECL output signals. A pair of FETs, arranged as a conventional CMOS inverter, responds to the CMOS logic input signals and drives a bipolar transistor operating as a voltage follower. The emitter of the bipolar transistor serves as the output of the buffer providing the ECL output signals. A resistor having a predetermined resistance couples between a voltage source and the base of the bipolar transistor. First one of the pair of FETs couples a constant current source to the resistor and the base of the bipolar transistor when the buffer is supplying an ECL logical "zero" logic signal. The current from the current source passing through the resistor establishes the ECL logical "zero" output voltage. Second one of the pair of FETs shunts the resistor when the buffer is supplying an ECL logical "one" output, allowing faster transitioning of the output of the buffer from an ECL logical "zero" to a logical "one". Further, the current from the current source compensates for variations in the resistance of the resistor to assure a substantially constant difference between the ECL logical "one" and the ECL logical "zero" output voltages with variations in the resistance of the resistor from the manufacture thereof.

    摘要: Efficient high frequency operation of magnetic devices is achieved by utilizing ferrites that have a low power dissipation hysteresis characteristic and by designing these magnetic devices to operate within an operational range where all applied magnetic forces to the magnetic core have a substantially linear constant permeability response. Within this operational range the hysteresis loop of the selected ferrite material approximates an ellipse with very little area encompassed between the increasing and decreasing B-H locus of the hysteresis loop. The cyclic energy dissipation is significantly reduced as compared to conventional magnetic operations and high frequency operation can be achieved with very high efficiencies.

    摘要: A dual wavelength optical coupler is disclosed which provides either bidirectional or unidirectional communication at different wavelengths over a single fiber. The coupler utilizes a dichroic filter and a set of three lenses to achieve dual wavelength communication. Additional blocking filters may be incorporated to decrease the degree of optical crosstalk present in the system.

    摘要: A network architecture of the sort-then-expand type for routing packets including destination information is disclosed. The network includes a distribution stage comprising a plurality of input sorts units, an intermediate stage comprising a plurality of intermediate sort units and an output stage comprising a plurality of output switches. The input sort units each distribute a plurality of packets to the intermediate sort units such that each intermediate sort unit receives approximately the same number of packets destined for each output switch as the other intermediate sort units. Each intermediate sort unit identifies packet groups for a common output switch and connects the groups to the destination output switch. Each destination output switch merges the received groups of packets and distributes them to output ports.

Data traffic from users is connected to data concentrators at the edge of the network, and is transmitted over fiber optic data links to a hub where the data is switched.

Distributed control of the space division switch permits several million connection and disconnection actions to be performed each second, while the pipelined and parallel operation within the control means permits each of the 256 switching modules to process at least 50,000 transactions per second. The data switching modules chain groups of incoming packets destined for a common outlet of the space division switch so that only one connection in that switch is required for transmitting each group of chained packets from a data switching module to a concentrator.

    摘要: A test circuit is described for measuring the specific contact resistivity r.sub.c of self-aligned electrodes contacting underlying diffused regions at a major surface of an underlying semiconductor wafer, as well as the sheet (lateral) resistance r.sub.s of the underlying diffused regions in some embodiments. The test circuit illustratively includes a pair of test MOS or other type of transistors advantageously made by a self-aligned metallization process simultaneously with the other MOS or other type of transistors to be tested. The two test transistors share a common diffused region, a self-aligned common controlled electrode contacting a diffused region underneath it, and a common control electrode. During test operation, both est transistors are kept ON by means of an applied above-threshold control voltage, while a current source forces current through one of the transistors. The resulting voltage, developed across the common controlled electrode and the controlled electrode of the other transistor is a measure of the specific contact resistivity thereat.
