Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 電機工程學系 === 86 === Multimedia application over the internet needs a large bandwidth andwell managed network architecture. Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM),the state of the art network technology, provides both requirements.One key component of the ATM network is the ATM switch. In this thesis, a novel ATM switch architecture based on the shared multibuffer structure is proposed. It incorporates a cyclic address queue algorithm and can support up to 622 Mb/s transmission rate. Hardware cost is reduced while throughput is elevated by using the proposed architecture.An dynamic multicast scheme along with the multicast queues method isintroduced to handle multicast applications. The unfairness problemcaused by adopting the multicast queue is improved. In this thesis,the VLSI design of the switch controller is also described. The gate-levelcircuit derived with the help of CAD tools amd Compass standard celllibraryusing 0.6 um single poly three metal CMOS technology. The gate-levelcircuit can work at 60 MHz under the intrinsic delay model.
