Abstract
When serial data , which includes synchronous data A and effective data B, is received, a hold signal is set at “1” and the PLL control is stopped while the effective data B is being received. As a result, low-cost, high-speed data transmission can be realized. Here, when one frame is composed of a start bit, the synchronous data A, and the effective data B, when the serial data is composed of a plurality of frames, and when the bit length of data that has been transmitted either between the rising edges or between the falling edges of the synchronous data of the consecutive frames is an integral multiply of the dividing ratio of a divided clock signal, phase synchronization by the PLL with minimum transmission period of the synchronous data can be realized. As a result, the efficiency of image data transmission can be improved.
