signal is assigned to AU-3 signal and thus 3 AU-3 signals are
multiplexed to AUG signal to which the overhead area is
added to compose one STM-I frame. Similarly. TUG-3 signal is
composed into one VC-4 signal through 3 byte interleaving
multiplexing procedures, and assigned to one AU-4 to develop
the multiplexing process to AUG signal. Here. the overhead is

blocking structure, the memory block of FIRO(First In Random
Out) structure shall be set, which stores the data by the unit
of frame row (270 bytes) and then randomly reads in the data
at the output end. Therefore, in order to switch certain time
slot data of TU-1 1 and TU-12 signals, 2 memories having the
capacity of 270(bytes) X 8(bits) are needed. Fig. 5. shows the
switching methods of TU-I1 and TU-12 signals. In order to
switch TU-11 and TU-12 signals together when they are inter-
mixed in a frame, two memories which have as much capacity
as the least common multiple of the repetition cycles of those
signals shall be provided and the non-blocking switching shall
be executed by causing the memory swapping at the moment
when the repetition cycles of the signals are matched (14 /1 s).
To STM-1 frame, 3 TUG-3 signals are multiplexed, and Fig. 6.
shows the memory block diagram inside the IC which
implements the switching structure of TU-11 m - 1 2 level signal
data which actually belong to one TUG-3. Input is written on
the memory by the unit of time slot byte and output is done
by reading the connection information given by CPU and
sending the data in the desired memory address. The control
signal which causes R e a m r i t e swapping makes the time slot
data select and write on one of two memories, and in the
other memory area of the same timing, it reads the data of
the corresponding address in accordance with the connection
information.
