A symmetrical low-cost high-density interface for ATM devices. The interface can connect any device which transmists ATM cells to any device which receives ATM cells. The signals of the interface include two control signals and four, eight, sixteen, or thirty-two data signals. The control signals are SOC, which is sent from a transmitter to a receiver and indicates the start of an ATM cell, and STRB, which determines when the transmitter sends SOC and data signals and when the receiver samples SOC and the data signals. STRB is sent under control of the receiver, and the receiver can thus use STRB to control the rate at which the receiver receives cells or portions thereof from the transmitter.
