“It eliminates stages of electrical switching - this would be the spine ... Instead of a fiber pathway, there are now optical circuit switches that cause the light to lose some of its intensity ...

Unlike antiquated circuit switching, which requires the establishment of dedicated point-to-point connections before full-signal communications can happen, packet switching breaks data into small ...

This article explores how the evolution of switching technologies is influencing snubber circuitry. Even a perfectly designed printed circuit board (PCB) has parasitic capacitances and inductances.
