Abstract
A deterministic routing method for switch matrices. The routed matrix receives N input signals and produces M output signals on M output columns. The method of the present invention has three steps. First, each of the M output columns in the switch matrix is searched for each of N separate input signals. Secondly, each of the N inputs is assigned to its located column. If all of the N inputs cannot be assigned to one of the M columns, the set of inputs is shifted and the steps are repeated until all of the N inputs are routed.
