Abstract
A control plane for controlling transfer of data to a data plane is disclosed. In one aspect, the control plane comprises memory cells for storing a digitally coded parameter value and having a data input electrode, a data output electrode and a control electrode, n data input terminals that receive a data input value and apply it to the data input electrode of an associated memory cell, and n data output terminals coupled to a data output electrode of an associated memory cell. The control plane further comprise a first delay line having delay elements and arranged for receiving a stream of control bit values, and a second delay line having delay elements and arranged for receiving a signal for enabling the control bit values in the first delay line, wherein data is transferred in a controlled and synchronized fashion to an output electrode.
