Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to simplify a circuit for carrying out an interleaving and a de-interleaving processing. A RAM address control outputs an address by an addition of an address output from an address ROM and a predetermined offset, based on state information. The address ROM stores address data corresponding to a rearrangement rule for data of each modulation system. A de-interleaving or an interleaving processing is accomplished by reading out of a RAM, or writing thereto, the data of an address specified by the RAM address control.
