A signal inversion unit inverts an adjustment pattern signal input as received data. A clock adjustment control circuit acquires a first TAP value adjusted and obtained when a phase adjusting operation is performed on a clock adjustment circuit in a state in which the adjustment pattern signal is not inverted, a first detection frequency of the adjustment pattern signal in a runtime of the operation, a second TAP value adjusted and obtained when the phase adjusting operation is performed in a state in which the adjustment pattern signal is inverted by the signal inversion unit, and a second detection frequency of the adjustment pattern signal in the runtime of the operation. A controller tests an operating state of the phase adjusting operation based on the first and second TAP values and the first and second detection frequencies of the adjustment pattern obtained by the clock adjustment control circuit.

A transmission LSI calculates a buffer usage rate in accordance with data stored in a buffer in a transmission data processing unit and determines, in accordance with the calculated buffer usage rate, the number of signal lines that perform a phase readjustment and the timing thereof. Then, the transmission LSI and a receiving LSI perform a phase adjustment using some of the signal lines and continues a data transfer using the rest of the signal lines. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain the optimum phase of a clock without delaying the data transfer.

A selection-signal generating circuit (106) in an LSI #1_(100) being a transmission-side LSI, when a transmission error is detected on an A-side signal line (301) (B-side signal line (302)) and degeneration control is performed thereon, instructs a selector (103) (selector (105)) to select an input from an ECC generator (102b) (ECC generator (104b)) in order to transmit data and ECC data for this data to be transmitted via the B-side signal line (302) (A-side signal line (301)), via the A-side signal line (301) (B-side signal line (302)). In this manner, the degenerated signal line is used to transmit the ECC data for transmission data to be transmitted via a signal line which is not degenerated, which allows error detection and error correction of the transmission data, and thus, reliability of the transmission data is improved and a transmission channel is prevented thereafter from being further degenerated.

A clock adjustment circuit 1022-j (j=1 through N) delays a phase of a clock signal on the basis of a TAP value j so as to output an adjusted clock signal j. By synchronizing transmission data with the adjusted clock signal j, reception data j [1:0] is generated. A data adjustment circuit 1031-j delays the transmission data on the basis of a TAP2 value j. By synchronizing the delayed transmission data with the adjusted clock signal j, adjusted reception data j [1:0] is generated. A data adjustment control circuit 1035-j generates the TAP2 value j on the basis of a result of a comparison between the reception data j [1:0] and the adjusted reception data j [1:0], and outputs to a clock adjustment control circuit 1023-j an instruction to update the TAP value j.
