Abstract
An encoding circuit sequentially encodes digital signals supplied in time series from a digital signal source and then transfers the encoded signals. A decoding circuit sequentially receives the encoded digital signals transferred from the encoding circuit and then decodes the signals. A digital-analog converter sequentially converts the digital signals decoded by the decoding circuit into analog signals. Thus, power consumed when the digital signal output from the digital circuitry is transferred to the analog circuitry is reduced.
