Abstract

A sequencer 32 is provided with a plurality of protocol processing circuits for independently carrying out at least a part of processes to respective protocol hierarchies of the protocol in response to sequence selection by a sequence selection circuit 28 according to a result of received protocol type identification in a protocol recognition circuit 26. As a result, processes for the respective protocol hierarchies of the protocol or partial processes thereof can be simply and efficiently performed at the same time, and the data receiving device can be configured by the hardware.
