    摘要: In the ATM switching system, an ATM speech path is divided into a plurality of functional blocks. A routing function for distributing cells (packets) each of a fixed length to addresses outgoing lines and a logical multiplexing function are imparted to a switch, while other functions associated with a line typified by a phase synchronizing function and a flow control function are incorporated en bloc in ATM line terminating units and functions capable of being processed by hardware in common to the lines are assembled in a line common unit. The ATM line terminating unit physically terminates transmission lines and performs the processing relevant to header information of the cells each of a fixed length (ATM terminating processing) and includes a cell phase synchronizing circuit for matching the temporal positions of the cells among the lines and a flow control circuit for avoiding overload exceeding the load declared by subscriber terminal. The line common unit serves for processings of call control signals and the calls and includes a signal processing circuit and a control circuit. The switch performs cell multiplexing and switching and is constituted by a self-routing switch.

    摘要: An ATM switching system comprises a switch unit including a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports having the same cell transmission rate, and a multiplexer for multiplexing cell trains outputted from at least two output ports into a single cell train and outputting the cell train to a high-speed output line (and/or a demultiplexer for demultiplexing a cell train from an output port into a plurality of cell trains and outputting the cell trains to a plurality of low-speed output lines). The switch unit includes a buffer memory for temporarily storing cells inputted from the input ports while forming a queue chain for each output line to which each cell is to be outputted, a demultiplexer for distributing the cells read from the buffer memory among the output ports in circulation, and a buffer memory control circuit for controlling the write and read operation of cells with the shared buffer memory. The buffer memory control circuit has a control table device for outputting an identifier of an output line to which the cells read from the shared buffer memory are to be outputted, and cells are read from the chain designated by the output line identifier outputted from the control table device.
