<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication controller capable of compatibly responding to an FIS from a host. <P>SOLUTION: A communication controller 10 includes: a transport layer for generating an FIS and controlling a transfer protocol; a sequencer management circuit 12 for managing the state of the transfer protocol; a primitive control circuit 11 for determining whether transmitting and receiving of the FIS is permitted or not in response to the state of the transfer protocol; and a link layer for controlling the transmitting and receiving of the FIS in response to the result determined by the primitive control circuit 11. The communication controller 10 allows data transfer between itself and a host using serial transmission. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
