Abstract
A serial communication apparatus capable of efficiently eliminating a timing lag between serial data transferred via a plurality of routes in serial communication is provided. The serial communication apparatus transfers serial data transmitted from a transmitting side communication unit disposed on a transmitting side to a receiving side communication unit disposed on a receiving side via a plurality of lanes. The transmitting side communication unit comprises a packet transmitting unit configured to divide transmission data into equal parts according to the number of the lanes, distribute the divided transmission data to each lane as a data main body, and add header information indicating the type of the transmission data to the divided transmission data distributed to each lane. The receiving side communication unit comprises a received packet skew adjusting unit configured to adjust skew of data received in each lane.
