Abstract
An interface device includes a data transmitter provided with a multiplexer for dividing k.times.n bits of data (k is an integer satisfying k.gtoreq.2) applied from a transmitting side data terminal equipment into k groups for time sequential output, and a data receiver provided with a data latch circuit for taking the first k-1 data groups transmitted from the data transmitter and a data latch circuit for taking the outputs from the k-1 data latch circuits and the last transmitted data group. In a period corresponding to one transmission, two data groups are supplied in time sequence from the data transmitter to the data receiver. There may be provided k data latch circuits so that the inputs of data latch circuit are all passed through the data latch circuits.
