Abstract

A data transferring system based on the PCI Express standard in which power saving is realized is disclosed. In the data transferring system, a data transferring device transfers image data based on the PCI Express standard by synchronizing with a line synchronizing signal LSYNC. At this time, the data transferring device causes a period between packets (image data) to be transferred in one line cycle of the line synchronizing signal LSYNC to be shorter than a transition period “t1” which is required to transit from a link state L0 to a link state L0s and from the link state L0s to the link state L0. With this, the number of the transition periods “t1” is reduced and the period of the link state L0s is made long.
