Abstract
A time serial signal from a signal source is input into a delay circuit, and the signal is read out from arbitrary intermediate taps of the delay circuit to obtain a specific delayed signal. Alternatively, a time serial signal from a signal source is allotted to a plurality of memory circuits, and the allotted signal contents are read at a specific moment to obtain a specific delayed signal. By distributing the delayed signals in this manner, a signal distribution apparatus can send a serial signal, from its beginning with little delay, to multiple terminals requesting the signal at arbitrary times.
