Abstract:
A multiple input/output switch, comprising:a plurality of transmission control logic units, each transmission control logic unit associated with a transmission data path, each transmission control logic unit outputting a destination code on a switchless communication medium when said transmission control logic unit receives data, said destination code identifying a reception data path to which said data is to be sent, and said transmission control logic unit outputting said received data on said switchless communication medium when a confirmation signal is received; and a plurality of reception control logic units, each reception control logic unit associated with a reception data path, each reception control logic unit monitoring signals received from said switchless communication medium, detecting said identification code of said associated reception data path in said monitored signals, and outputting said confirmation signal via said switchless communication medium when said identification code of said associated reception data path is detected in said monitored signals.
