PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To convert parallel data to serial data without using a high frequency clock by using a phase locked loop to generate a clock which has the same frequency as an original system clock but a phase different from that of the original system clock. SOLUTION: A phase locked loop 17 of a conversion logic 11 receives the system clock from a system clock generator 15 to generate a synchronous clock CLK1 to be used as a phase 1. A clock buffer 20 inverts it to generate a phase 3. A delay circuit 19 delays the time period by, for example, 1/4 to generate a phase 2, and a clock buffer 21 inverts it to generate a phase 4. A register 16 latches original data D1 to D4 to obtain data d1 to d4. A parallel/ serial converter 22 samples data d1 in the phase 2 to send it in the phase 3 and samples data d2 in the phase 3 to send it in the phase 4 and samples data d3 in the phase 3 to send it in the phase 1 and samples data d4 in the phase 1 and send it in the phase 2. |
