Calculating Switching Time

The time-period for switching a channel can be divided into three constituent periods. The first time-period ends when the BUSY signal goes high. For calculating switching time, however, only the last two periods are used.

The second time-period starts when BUSY goes high and the switch armature begins to move. There is a 16 ms period until the armature reaches the specified output channel. There is a 16 ms period for each switched channel, including duplex and blocked channels. During this period, optical output is invalid; optical noise may appear on various output channels as the armature rotates.

The third time-period is called the debounce period. It ends when the armature is steady, the switch has established a valid optical connection, and BUSY goes low. The debounce period lasts for 300 ms.

Switching time is the sum of the second and third time-periods. For example:

Switch from Channel 15 to Channel 1 (1 x N Configuration) Switches through 14 channels

(14 x 16 ms) + 300 ms = 524 ms

Switch from Channel 2 to Channel 6 (2 x N Blocking Configuration) Switches through 2 x 4 (8) channels

(8 x 16 ms) + 300 ms = 428 ms
