Abstract

Disclosed is a circuit which allows an n-bit time slot interchanger (TSI) to process m-bit wide information, where m is some fraction of n. A packing circuit receives the information from the TSI in the form of a series of n-bit segments. The circuit will choose m bits from each segment and produce an n-bit output which includes the m-bit segments in a desired order. The n-bit output can then be looped back to the TSI for insertion into an appropriate time slot.
