  • Means and a method for switching data packets or frames
    Patent number: 7342889
    Abstract: A switching means and method where a number of devices exchange data on a data bus. Each device has at least one data port and at least one of the devices has a plurality of data ports. The data ports may have different data rates. An arbitration takes into account availability or congestion of the ports before allowing data transport from device to device. The devices communicate directly over a cross bar.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for communicating between a number of elements and a method for configuring and testing the system
    Publication number: 20030217324
    Abstract: A switch chip where the parts taking up the most space on the die are provided with a redundancy in number so that a malfunctioning or weak element may be circumvented or routed around so that the chip may be fully functional even though one of the elements is malfunctioning. Means are provided for facilitating communication between the ports of the switch, the functioning elements and a common bus for transferring data between the elements and ports. The malfunctioning or redundant element may be rendered inactive by removing power or a clocking signal thereto. Manners of configuring and testing the chip are described as well as the use of the chip for providing lower functionality configurations.
