Abstract
A reception unit for providing data supplied from a serial input circuit to an inner bus and a transmission unit for providing the data supplied from the inner bus to a serial output circuit hold at least two types of control procedures selected from HDLC procedure, BI-SYNC procedure and start-stop synchronous procedure as control procedures for data transmission/reception, and the control procedures held by these units can be selected alternatively based on a mode control data written in a mode control register by a processor.
