  • Abstract
    This paper presents a cost-effective, scalable, single-chip-switch fabric processor with 320 Gb/s full duplex throughput, using a 320 Gb/s shared memory architecture, which delivers an 8× improvement in functional efficiency. 30 M transistors, 64 SerDes ports and four 3.125 GHz PLLs are integrated in a 0.13 μm 8M process.
