SIGNAL CONVERSION APPARATUS, SIGNAL RESTORATION APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

According to an embodiment, a signal conversion apparatus includes a control information generator and a selector. The control information generator generates first control information based on rate information indicating transmission rates of original signals. The first control information designates a first timing at which each of the original signals is sampled. The selector selects each of the sampled signals at a timing based on the first timing. The original signal group includes a first original signal at a first transmission rate and a second original signal at a second transmission rate. The first transmission rate is higher than the second transmission rate. The frequency of allocating the first timing to the first original signal is higher than a frequency of allocating the first timing to the second original signal.

1. A signal conversion apparatus comprising:
a control information generator that generates first control information and second control information based on a clock signal and rate information indicating transmission rates of a plurality of original signals included in an original signal group, the first control information designating a first timing at which each of the plurality of original signals is sampled, and the second control information designating a second timing at which a synchronization signal is output; a sampler that samples each of the plurality of original signals at the first timing to obtain sampled signals; a synchronization signal generator that generates the synchronization signal and outputs the synchronization signal at the second timing; and a selector that selects each of the sampled signals at a timing based on the first timing and selects the synchronization signal at a timing based on the second timing to obtain a serial signal, wherein the original signal group includes a first original signal at a first transmission rate and a second original signal at a second transmission rate, the first transmission rate is higher than the second transmission rate, and a frequency of allocating the first timing to the first original signal is higher than a frequency of allocating the first timing to the second original signal.
