Abstract
If the number of bits at which 64-bit width data has changed at the same time has exceeded a threshold, the data is outputted, with the polarity of each bit inverted. Otherwise, the data is outputted. A 7-bit width error correcting code is given to the outputted data and the inversion instruction signal indicating whether the number of the changed bits has exceeded the threshold. Error code correction is performed for the data and the inversion instruction signal with the use of the transmitted error correcting code. If the inversion instruction signal for which the error code correction has been performed indicates that the number of the changed bits has exceeded the threshold, the data for which the error code correction has been performed is outputted, with the polarity of each bit inverted. Otherwise, the data for which the error code correction has been performed is outputted.
