ABSTRACT:
A data transfer control device including: a node to which is input data to be transferred through serial transfer paths; a LINK circuit which splits the input data into first to pth channels in predetermined units in sequence, and outputs the thus-split data and a split transfer notification for each channel; first to pth parallel/serial conversion circuits which convert the split data and the split transfer notification that are output for each channel into a serial signal; and first to pth transceivers which output the serial signal which has been input from the first to pth parallel/serial conversion circuits to the serial transfer paths for the first to pth channels.
