Abstract:
A multilayer butterfly network is shown that is operable to transform and align a plurality of fields from an input to an output data stream. Many transformations are possible with such a network which may include separate control of each multiplexer. This invention supports a limited set of multiplexer control signals, which enables a similarly limited set of data transformations. This limited capability is offset by the reduced complexity of the multiplexor control circuits. This invention used precalculated inputs and simple combinatorial logic to generate control signals for the butterfly network. Controls are independent for each layer and therefore are dependent only on the input and output patterns. Controls for the layers can be calculated in parallel.

Claim (Index 4):
An apparatus for data transformation of an input data word of 2 N  sections, where N is an integer, comprising:\n a set of N sequential layers of 2 to 1 multiplexers disposed from an output layer to an input layer, wherein:\n each multiplexer has a first input, a second input, a control input and an output, each multiplexer providing an output corresponding to a selected one of the first input or the second input dependent upon a signal at the control input, \n the first input of each multiplexer of the input layer receiving data of a corresponding input section, the first input of each multiplexer of each other layer receiving the output of a corresponding multiplexer of an immediately subsequent layer, \n the second input of each multiplexer of the input layer receiving data of an input section different from the corresponding input section supplying the first input, the second input of each multiplexer of each other layer receiving data of the output of a multiplexer of the immediately subsequent layer different from the corresponding multiplexer supplying the first input, the outputs of the last layer providing output of the apparatus.
