Component Test

Semiconductor manufacturers
provide a large variety of off-the-
shelf devices for the ATM industry,
including line interface ASICs,
ATM layer controllers and chip
and chip sets for the switch fabric
itself.

In order to achieve high standards
of quality throughout the system,
the individual chip or chip set
must have already been character-
ized for its share of the overall
cell transfer time variation budget.

Results

The counter window, illustrated in
figure 6, displays the results of a
cell transfer time variation
measurement. There are three
counters, each assigned to one of
the three categories (early, in-time
and late), which display the
number of cells generated
according to specific limits. Once
the receiver has started, the
counter window is updated in
specific measurement intervals, as
defined by the user.
