Claim 20:
21. A CMOS integrated circuit comprising:
digital-to-analogue converters (DACs);
analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs);
a digital signal processor (DSP);
on-chip switching;
an on-chip processor; and
logic enabling the CMOS integrated circuit to:
receive data from one or more transmission media, wherein the transmission media are digital or analog transmission media;
determine a mapping of the data received from the one or more transmission media according to one or more output transmission media, wherein the one or more output transmission media are digital transmission media or analog transmission media;
transform the data received from the one or more transmission media according to the mapping for the one or more output transmission media; and
cause the data to be transmitted by the one or more output transmission media, wherein the one or more transmission media is chosen from the group consisting of an optical link, an electrical link, a mm Wave link, a radio link, and a SERDES link.
