  • Memory egress self selection architecture
    Patent number: 7492760
    Abstract: A method of time division multiplex switching reduces the implementation area by reducing the area required for both memory storage at each egress port and the multiplexing circuitry required. Ingress and egress processors are implemented to control the storage and selection of data grains to allow for the reduction in the memory and multiplexer areas.
