Abstract
In a signal processing circuit capable of handling different signal rates, an STS-3 signal input as 78 M.times.2 parallel signals is converted by a serial-to-parallel converter into 19 M.times.8 parallel signals, thus making the number of signal lines equal to that of an STS-12 signal input as 78 M.times.8 parallel signals. Depending on whether the mode is STS-12 mode or STS-3 mode, a first selector selects the 78 M.times.8 parallel signals of STS-12 or the 19 M.times.8 parallel signals of STS-3, and supplies the selected signals to a signal processor. Depending on whether the mode is STS-12 mode or STS-3 mode, a second selector selects a 78-M clock or a 19-M clock and supplies the selected clock to the signal processor.
