Abstract :
The reassembly management is one of the key components in the ATM receiving function. To achieve high memory efficiency, we adopt a shared memory approach with the linked-list structure to support the ATM/AAL reassembly management. The chip with the die size 6570×6490 μm 2 and packaged in a 144-pin CQFP is fabricated by using TSMC 0.8 μm SPDM N-well CMOS technology. The designed chip can simultaneously support 256 connections and manage 3 Mbytes of the receiving buffer
