Abstract
A converting processing block (4B/5B CONVERTER & ARB. SIGNAL CONVERTER) functions as a 4 bit/5 bit converting unit for performing 4 bit/5 bit conversion of data and as an arbitration signal converting unit for allocating 5-bit symbols other than 5-bit symbols allocated to data to arbitration signals to enable the sending/reception of the arbitration signals and packet data as 5-bit code data. There are also provided scrambling blocks (SCRAMBLE , SCRAMBLE ) A, B and descramble blocks (DESCRAMBLE , DESCRAMBLE ) A, B between the 4 bit/5 bit converting unit and the arbitration signal converting unit on one hand and the input/output port on the other hand to inhibit unneeded radiations in a transmission channel.
