1. An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell assembly device for obtaining an ATM cell flow by assembling ATM cells from input data, comprising:

  • buffer means for temporarily storing the input data, from which stored data are outputted when an amount of the stored data becomes not less than a prescribed data amount sufficient for loading a payload section of each ATM cell; and

    cell assembly means for assembling each ATM cell by loading the stored data outputted from the buffer means into the payload section and attaching a header section to the payload section, and then for outputting each assembled ATM cell when the stored data outputted from the buffer means are received and for outputting an empty cell when the stored data outputted from the buffer means are not received.
