Apparatus for interfacing PDH network and ATM network

An interface apparatus of PDH network and ATM network, which includes a line interface unit for interfacing between the PDH network and the ATM network to receive bipolar analog data of T1 or E1 and provide PDH digital data when the ATM network receives data from the PDH network, and to receive PDH digital data and provide primary bipolar analog data of T1 or E1 when the PDH network receives data from the ATM network; a framer for framing received multiple T1/E1 channelized data of the PDH network to generate frames and provide T1/E1 PDH data in one of a T1 and a E1 unchannelized mode, and to provide synchronization information and signaling information in one of a T1 and a E1 channelized mode; an interface controller which, in one of the T1 and E1 channelized mode, receives the synchronization information and signaling information to distinguish time slot from said framer, and provides an interface signal containing information of frame overhead; an ATM Adaption Layer type 1-Segmentation and Reassembly (AAL1-SAR) device which divides ATM cells into a PDH data stream or reassembles PDH data stream into ATM cells, and services PCM transfer data which contains characteristics of PDH network in the ATM network.
