Abstract
In a digital signal time-division multiplex apparatus according to the present invention, digital signals transmitted through a plurality of channels are converted into low-order section frame signals in response to sync signals by low-order section frame processing boards provided for their respective channels. The low-order section frame processing boards are arranged in parallel on a mother board at regular intervals. The low-order section frame signals processed by the low-order section frame processing boards are supplied to a high-order section frame processing board and sequentially selected within one frame, thereby generating time-division multiplex signals. The sync signals are generated by a sync signal generating board and transmitted to a sync signal transmitting line formed on the mother board. The sync signal transmitting line is formed so as to transmit the sync signals in a direction in which the low-order section frame processing boards are arranged. The sync signals are supplied to the low-order section frame processing boards through the sync signal transmitting line in a bus line system. The low-order section frame signals generated from the low-order section frame processing boards are transmitted to a plurality of low-order section frame signal transmitting lines formed in the direction in which the sync signals are transmitted, and supplied to the high-order section frame processing board through the low-order section frame signal transmission lines.
