Abstract
According to an embodiment a signal multiplexing apparatus includes a clock selector, a data selector, and a converter. The clock selector selects either a first clock signal synchronized with a first data signal or a second clock signal different from the first clock signal to obtain a third clock signal. The data selector selects a subset of a first signal set at each timing controlled by the third clock signal to generate a first parallel signal. The first signal set includes the first data signal and a second data signal whose speed is lower than a speed of the first data signal. The converter converts the first parallel signal into a serial signal in accordance with the third clock signal.
