摘要

A serial-to-parallel converter (130) samples serial data DA1 comprising a first data string, which includes one or more unit data strings each including a predetermined number of bits (00XXX...XXX) and which is input after a synchronization period, in accordance with a clock signal CL1 which has been used to generate the serial data by converting original parallel data into serial form, thereby converting the serial data to parallel data from one unit data string to another. Signal generation means (140) generates a synchronization signal corresponding to a synchronization period in accordance with the serial data DA1 and the clock signal CL1. The serial data includes a second data string (1100...000) which appears in each synchronization period and which includes one or more unit data strings having a predetermined bit pattern. If the signal generation means (140) detects a unit data string (11000...000) in the second data string, it generates a synchronization signal. In accordance with the synchronization signal, the serial-to-parallel converter (130) detects the start position of the unit data string in the first data string. <IMAGE>
