Abstract: A clock signal recovery and synchronization method for the reception of information elements transmitted by an ATM network and a device for the implementation of this method. The clock signal recovery is done by the reception of data elements by means of a local clock signal HL with a frequency equal to the frequency of transmission, the rephasing of the data elements being done only after a wait for the presence, on one and the same phase signal, of several fronts or edges of phase signals of the transmitted data that are coherent with a clock pulse HL and by choosing, as a rephasing signal, the phase signal that meets this condition and that frames the clock pulse. The resynchronization is done by the recognition of the resynchronization word with, possibly, a correction of errors in this word.
