Hello,

I am looking for a logic chip that does routing of pins signals like ethernet routers does with rj45 plugs.

The router have to route 8 inputs to 32 outputs (or more). The signal is bidirectional like this:

Y0...Y7 pins
^
Router
v
Z0...Z32 pins

The routing table Yi <=> Zj is stored in the memory of the router.

Do you know a kind of chip that does this work?

Regards,
Michel
 

This sounds like a cross-point switch, but I'm not sure a single-chip solution for this exists. However, it would be a simple matter to do this with an FPGA or CPLD.

Thank you Barry. This is exactly what I want!
I am looking for low cost solutions. Which FPGA or CPLD should I choose?
 

Look at the MACHX02 from Lattice, or CoolRunner from Xilinx.
