Abstract

A reception processing unit receives digital data in successive data frames, each frame comprising a supervisory data field and an associated information data field and, further, a negative stuff or a positive stuff in accordance with need, and detects the head position of the information data field. An enable signal is produced only during and throughout a time interval in which the information data field appears in each successive, received data frame; a count operation of a counter is performed only during the interval of the enable signal. The head position is detected each time the counter finishes counting a number of bytes equal to the fixed length of the information data field.
