Abstract:
A cell assembling device comprising:an input circuit for receiving input signal multiplexed on a plurality of channels and decomposing said input signals into units of data on a channel-by-channel basis, each of the units of data being to be included in a cell;a first storage for temporarily storing said units of data being channel by channel, and responsive to a read command for outputting one of said units of data which is designated by the read command;a cell forming circuit for adding cell header information to the one unit of data output from said first storage to thereby form a cell; andan arbitrating circuit for determining one of the channels which has a unit of data stored in said first storage satisfying a predetermined condition, for generating the read command designating the one channel, and for feeding said read command to said first storage.
