Signal receiving circuit and signal receiving method

Abstract

A signal receiving circuit is provided which is capable of receiving sample data, even if a number of sample data to be transmitted from a transmitting terminal does not coincide with that of sample data to be received by a receiving terminal without an occurrence of discontinuity in received sample data. The signal receiving circuit is provided with a converting circuit adapted to perform computations on a plurality of pieces of first sample data contained in n1 pieces (n1 is a natural number) of first sample data to be sequentially input and to sequentially produce, in response to a clock signal, n2 pieces (n2 is a natural number) of second sample data and with a receiving section adapted to sequentially receive the n2 pieces of the second sample data in response to the clock signal.
