Abstract
A method and apparatus for synchronizing ATM cells is disclosed. A synchronization unit receives a data clock signal and a plurality of control signals. Based on those signals, a sync pulse is generated. If synchronization is not achieved within a predetermined time period, the sync pulse is shifted one bit location. Through iterative shifting of the sync pulse, synchronization is ultimately achieved.
