Described is a data switching device comprising a plurality of input ports, a plurality of output ports, a plurality of first conductive connectors, a plurality of second conductive connectors, a plurality of crosspoint regions, and a memory device at each crosspoint region. The first conductive connectors are in communication with the input ports. The second conductive connectors are in communication with the output ports. Each crosspoint region includes a first conductive connector and a second conductive connector. The memory device is coupled between the first conductive connector and the second conductive connector for exchanging data between the input ports and the output ports.
