Abstract:
An electronic scanning circuit is provided using MOS integrated switches to set up electronic multiselectors. The electronic multiselectors are in the form of matrices of verticals and horizontals having MOS transistors forming the crosspoints.
Abstract:
A switching matrix includes horizontal and vertical multiples having MOS field effect transistor cross-points. A bistable circuit at the cross-point remembers the busy or idle state of the cross-point. The cross-point is particularly well adapted for integrated or monolithic devices.
Abstract:
A memory unit is provided at each crosspoint of an electronic multiselector. The memory comprises a bistable element and a capacitor which keeps the crosspoint latched while external determinations are made concerning future changes of state of the crosspoint.
Abstract:
An electronic multiselector employs metal-oxide-silicon FET transistors in logic circuits comprising NOR gates and inverters. Horizontal selection signals are delivered by a shift register which provides line scanning in a selection stage.
Abstract:
An interface unit is provided for connection between each of a plurality of peripheral devices and a central processing unit. The peripheral devices include such things as subscribers lines, trunks and junctors. The interface unit includes a temporary memory for storing status information or instructions regarding the peripheral devices. A permanent memory delivers regulating signals for scanning current test inputs and comparing them with data stored in the temporary memory. When there is a discrepancy in the data in the memories, the unit calls the central processor and sends its information to the central processor, where it is processed and new data is sent back to the unit.
Abstract:
A switching stage is provided which employs multiselectors formed by MOS crosspoints. The operations of path search, subscriber test and call detection are made by a cyclic exploration of all the possible paths between a junctor and one (or all) subscriber(s). The supervision data (''''off-hook'''' condition and ''''path established'''' condition) are obtained by monitoring the DC levels on the two speech conductors.
Abstract:
An electronic switching system employing MOS monolithic transistors in a matrix of cross-points is disclosed. Control of the cross-points is provided by shift registers which operate in response to codes instead of a free running clock. Individual cross-points in the matrix can be closed regardless of the status of the other cross-points in the respective line.
