Abstract
A large difference in the lengths of the passages or a large difference in the load capacitances inclusive of parasitic elements of parallel data wirings can cause differences in the propagation time of data on the parallel data wirings. The invention provides a simultaneous arrival judging circuit for comparing phases of part or whole bits of data received from the parallel data wirings, and a timing adjusting mechanism for adjusting phases among parallel bits of the received data based on the judged results of the simultaneous arrival judging circuit, so that the data bits arrive simultaneously at a receiver.
