Synchronizing device for terminal equipment in an asynchronous transfer mode digital telecommunications network

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A synchronizing device for terminal equipment in an asynchronous transfer mode telecommunications network comprising a device (7) for filtering the transfer jitter which is introduced by such a network and affects the network-routed data reception rate through said equipment and for matching the local clock signal frequency supplied by a local clock within said equipment to the frequency of a signal output by said filtering device. The synchronizing device comprises a buffer memory (MTB1 MTB2) into which said data are entered as they are received by said equipment and a device (5, 5') for reading said buffer memory as said signal is output by said filtering and matching device with a delay …
