A method of synchronous serial communications and a system for synchronous serial communications are provided for increasing the transfer rate of serial data. In full mode, ordinary synchronous serial communications are carried out. In block mode, serial data of a predetermined length to be transmitted is divided into a plurality of blocks, block information about which block is to go first is transmitted, and the data in the block designated by the block information is then transmitted. In burst mode, the next block information is compared with the previously sent block information, and the coincidence of the two allows the data of the block to be transmitted with block information omitted. Mode identification information indicative of the current transmission mode accompanies data to be transmitted.
