Abstract
A communication device includes: a communication unit that adds, to a set of data blocks including a serial signal group conforming to SPI transmitted from a master in synchronization with a clock, identification information for identifying the data blocks, and transmits the data blocks to a communication partner device within one frame period of a predetermined communication protocol, or adds, to data blocks each including a part of the serial signal group, identification information for identifying each of the data blocks, and transmits the data blocks to the communication partner device in a plurality of frame periods; and a storage unit that sequentially stores a predetermined number of data blocks transmitted from the master and outputs a data block transmitted from the communication partner device in response to the predetermined number of data blocks from the master and stored, to transmit the data block to the master.
