Crossbar Switch: Final report

Technical Report · Sat Dec 19 00:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:5610593

This study includes the investigation of two distinct Crossbar Switch configurations, three arbitration schemes, three pipelining modes, and a minimum of 6 common control functions. Individual ''data-book'' level descriptions of the switches are prepared, including high-level logic diagrams, function of each pin or bus, and timing information for each pin and bus. Additionally, specific proposals are made for: (1) a practical means of performing 100% functional at-speed testing of the chips requiring probing only a fraction of the full complement of I/O terminals, and parametric testing of 100% of the 2 mil pitch I/O terminals at wafer level, as well as; (2) a practical means and process flow for water level burn-in, including retests, prior to multi-chip assembly utilizing LP based interconnect technology. 12 refs., 24 figs., 15 tabs.
