In this work, we have studied about an RSFQ (Rapid Single Flux Quantum) switch element. The circuit was designed, simulated, and laid out for mask fabrication. The switch cell was composed of a D flip-flop, a splitter, a confluence buffer, and a switch core. The switch core determined if the input data could pass to the output. “On” and o“off” controls in the switch core could be possible by utilizing an RS flip-flop. When a control pulse was input to the “on” port, the RS flip-flop was in the set state and passed the input pulses to the output port. When a pulse was input to the “off” port, the RS flip-flop was in the reset state and prevented the input pulses from transferring to the output port. We simulated and optimized the switch element circuit by using Xic, WRspice, and Julia. The minimum circuit margins in simulations were more than $\pm$20%. We also performed the mask layout of the circuit by using Xic and Lmeter.

In this paper, we propose the improved structure of fully interconnected ATM Switch to develop the small sized switch element and represent practical implementation of switch network. As the part II of the full study about structure and implementation of fully interconnected ATM Switch, this paper especially describes the implementation of an ATM switching element with 8 input port and 8 output port at 155 Mbits/sec each. The single board switching element is used as a basic switching block in a small sized ATm switch for ATM LAN Hub and customer access node. This switch has dedicated bus in 12 bit width(8 bit data + 4 bit control signal) at each input and output port, bit addressing and cell filtering scheme. In this paper, we propose a practical switch architecture with fully interconnected buses to implement a small-sized switch and to provide multicast function withoutany difficulty. The design of switching element has become feasible using advanced CMOS technology and Embedded Gate Array technology. And, we also represent Application Specific Integrated Circuit(ASIC) of Switch Output Multiplexing Unit(SOMU) and 12 layered Printed Circuit Board for interconnection network of switch.

In this paper, we propose ATM switch structure including AAL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of AAL cells which consist of AAL type 1, AAL type 2, AAL type 3/4, and AAL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the AAL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global AAL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a strong point for easy implementation and extensibility. The proposed ATM switch fabric architecture is applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network.

In this study a smart HDMI switch is proposed to detect newly formed video stream and automatically change the transfer path to the corresponding port without pulling the HDMI plug and putting it again in the desired port manually and physically. Furthermore the proposed switch is designed in the advanced wireless video transmission scheme based on millimeter band technology. The proposed system shows its feasibility by the hardware experiment in the full-HD video transmission performance including the function of the smart port change.

This paper illustrates the implementation of a scalable shared buffer asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch. The designed shared buffer ATM switch has a shared buffet of a pipelined memory which has the access time of 4 ns. The high-speed buffer access time supports a possibility of the implementation of a shared buffer ATM switch which has a large switching capacity. The designed switch architecture provides flexible switching performance and port size scalability with the independence of queue address control from buffer memory control. The switch size and the buffer size of the designed ATM switch can be reconfigured without serious circuit redesign. The designed prototype chip has a shared buffer of 128-cell and 4 ${\times}$ 4 switch size. It is integrated in 0.6um, double-metal, and single-poly CMOS technology. It has 80MHz operating frequency and supports 640Mbps per port.

An ATM switch is the basic component of an ATM network, and its functioning is to switch incoming cells arriving at an input port to the output port associated with an appropriate virtual path. In case of an ATM switch with buffer sharing scheme, the performance analysis is very difficult due to the interactions between the address queues. In this paper, the influences of the degree of traffic burstiness and some traffic routing properties are investigated by using the simulation. Also, some cell access strategies including priority access and cell dropping are compared in terms of cell loss probability.

This paper is the part I of the full study about improved structure of fully interconnected ATM switch to develop the small sized switch element and practical implemention of switch network. This part I paper describes about proposed switch structure, performance evaluations and some of considerations to practical implementation. The proposed structure is constructed of two step buffering scheme in a filtered multiplexer. First step buffering is carried out by small sized dedicated buffers located at each input port. And second step buffering is provided by a large sized common buffer at the output port. To control bursty traffic, we use speed up factor in multiplexing and priority polling according to the levels of buffer occupancy. Proposed structure was evaluated by computer simulation with two evaluation points. One is comparision of multiplexing discipline between hub polling and priority polling. The ogher is overall which should be considered to improve the practical implementation.

This paper describes a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS RF switch for $3{\sim}5$ GHz UWB band(mode 1). It can improve isolation characteristics between ports by using deep n-well RF devices while their source and body terminals are separated. From the measurement results, the proposed T/R switch is comparative to the on-wafer probing measurement results of the series-shunt T/R switches. When the proposed T/R switch operates as Tx mode, measured insertion loss from Tx to output port is less than 1.5 dB and isolation between Tx and Rx is more than 27 dB for $3{\sim}5$ GHz. Return loss for the Tx port is more than -10 dB and input P1dB is +10 dBm.

본 논문에선느 ATM 통신망을 위한 여러 ATM 스위치 모델들 중에서, 내부적으로 블록킹(blocking)이 없고 입출력 단에 각각 버퍼가 할당되어 있는 입출력 버퍼형 교환기에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존에서 스위치 스피드-업(Switch Speed-up) 기법하에서 주로 연구가 이루어졌다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유니폼 트래픽하에서 Output-port Expansion 기법을 사용한 귀환.손실 모드 및 하이브리드 모드하에서의 셀 손실률을 비교 분석하였다. Output-port Expansion 기법은, 한 타임 슬롯동안에 입력포트 당 하나의 셀만 교환되며, 만약 하나 이상의 셀들이 같은 출력포트로 향하면, 최대 교환되는 셀 수를 K(Output-port Expansion Ratio)개로 제한하는 방식이다. 유니폼 트래픽(uniform random traffic) 하에서 각 모드에 따른 셀 손실률을 비교 분석한 결과, 로드 0.9를 기점으로, 0.9이하의 로드에서는 하이브리드 모드가, 0.9이상의 로드에서는 손실모드가 가장 낮은 셀 손실률을 보인다.
