  • Switch fabric architecture using integrated serdes transceivers
    Patent number: 6721313
    Abstract: An integrated switch fabric architecture comprises: a plurality of high speed SERializer/DESerializer (SERDES) transceiver devices adapted for operation in an Inter-Cabinet, Cabled environment (SERDES ICC-type) and, a plurality of high speed SERDES transceiver devices adapted for operation in a High Speed Backplane (HSB) environment (SERDES HSB-type) that are maximally integrated on a single IC chip die to form a modular switch element for enabling communication among nodes of a network. The switch fabric architecture includes a crossbar switch device for communicating with a communications link associated with each ICC SERDES transceiver device and HSB SERDES transceiver device for enabling communication between the links inside the modular switch element.
