Abstract

An interface circuit that is suitable for use in a recording system and a system for manufacturing optical disks, which is provided with this interface circuit, have an analog-side interface circuit 100A and a digital-side interface circuit 100B, these interface circuits being optically linked, either acoustically, or electromagnetically, so as to enable mutual transmitting and receiving of a digital signal therebetween. The interface circuits 100A and 100B, which serve as a receiving side with respect to the other sides, detect the logic of the digital signal with a timing that does not include the jitter component that is included in the transmitted digital signal, the detected digital signal logic being used as the basis for generating a new digital signal.
