Abstract

There is provided a switching system that includes a plurality of input lines for transmitting time division multiplexed data signals, and a conversion means for receiving and converting the respective data signals into a non-time division multiplexed, parallel format, group of N data signals. The system also includes a crosspoint switch having a group of N/K outputs, a first group of N inputs connected to the respective outputs of the conversion means, and a second group of N/K select or control inputs. In addition, a control means includes connection memory that constitutes a means for addressing the crosspoint switch at the select inputs, and the outputs of a group of N/K multiplexers are connected to the select inputs and the inputs of the group of N/K multiplexers are connected to the control means.
