Abstract
An apparatus for transmitting information with a reduced number of bits without decreasing a transmission speed of a serial-signal and without omitting any information in the serial-signal includes an encoding unit (20) for encoding a serial-signal with binary-value into a serial-signal with quaternary-value and for outputting the encoded serial-signal with the quaternary-value, and a decoding unit (30) for receiving the encoded serial-signal with the quaternary-value output from the encoding unit (20) and for decoding the received serial-signal with the quaternary-value into the serial-signal with the binary-value.
