Abstract
An interface control device includes a first interface, a second interface, a third interface, an interface controller and a clock supplying unit. The first interface is used to communicate with a first information processing device and obtain a first clock signal from the first information processing device. The second interface is used to communicate using a second clock signal with a second information processing device different from the first information processing device. The third interface is used to communicate with a controller of a data-storage medium. The interface controller performs an interface control for the first, second and third interfaces. Moreover, the clock supplying unit supplies the first clock signal to the third interface while communications through the second interface have not been established.
