ABSTRACT:
This invention is intended to realize with ease flow control and quantization error reduction in a data transfer operation executed via the IEEE 1394 serial bus. A FIFO once holds data supplied from a decoder and outputs the data in a predetermined send timing relation. At this moment, a counter counts the number of packets to sent from the FIFO to an IEEE 1394 bus. In order to increasing data transfer quantity in accordance with a send command issued by a register, a data packet is sent at transfer of an empty packet. In order to decrease data transfer quantity, an empty packet is sent in a timed relation in which a data packet is sent. A data quantity monitor requests the decoder for supplying data or stopping thereof via a data input controller so as to prevent the FIFO from overflowing or being emptied in accordance with flow control.
