Abstract

A high-speed 8 × 8 space-division switching LSI has been developed for video and HDTV switching and broadcasting applications in the future B-ISDN. The LSI employs a new circuit design and super self-aligned process technology (SST−1A), and is switched successfully with a bit error rate of less than 10−9 at 2.5 Gbit/s using a 29−1 pseudorandom NRZ sequence. Pulse jitter has been limited to less than 70 ps at 2.2 Gbit/s by utilizing a small internal voltage swing (225 mV) employing a differential CML cell. The LSI has an ECL-compatible interface, −4.0 V and −2.0 V power supply voltages, and power dissipation of less than 997 mW. High-speed address control memories (ACMs) are integrated mono-lithically into the LSI, which can operate both synchronously and asynchronously. Using several of these LSIs, a three-stage switching network prototype system has been demonstrated. This network brings us closer to realizing a large-scale, gigabit-order, high-speed switching network for B-ISDN.
