Abstract: A digital bridge for a telephone conferencing circuit which provides multiple conferencing capability. Microprocessor signals to a buffered memory control switching of parallel communications data into a time division multiplexed serial stream for transmission, with the position of data within each frame of the stream being a function of the intended destination. High speed switching capability results from the buffered memory circuit which is simultaneously filled with new data as current data is utilized.
