Abstract
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM receiver is disclosed. The ATM receiver comprises an input that receives an ATM cell. A first-in first-out (FIFO) is coupled to the input. The FIFO stores the ATM cell received from the input. A header error correction (HEC) checking circuit is coupled to the input. The HEC checking circuit starts to check a header in the ATM cell for an error at substantially the same time when the ATM cell is being stored in the FIFO.
