Legacy transformers are passive, bulky, becoming expensive, and take longer time to deliver. They cannot provide the power quality or control which today’s loads demand for proper functioning and the electric system needs for its survivability. Solid-state transformers have been promising technologies in recent years. EPRI is pursuing development of an innovative solution – the IUTTM (Intellige...

ÐAn FPD switch module M with w terminals on each side is said to be universal if every set of nets satisfying the dimension constraint (i.e., the number of nets on each side of M is at most w) is simultaneously routable through M [8]. Chang et al. have identified a class of universal switch blocks in [8]. In this paper, we consider the design and routing problems for another popular model of sw...
