Abstract: When modulating by an interleaved NRZI technique by inserting one bit per every m bits of input data series, the frequency characteristics of bit rows varying by the polarity ("0" or "1") of the bit to be inserted are compared, and the bit row closer to the desired frequency characteristic is selected as the output series, so that recording is effected by controlling the frequency characteristics of the digital signal.

Abstract: An external expansion bus interface circuit is provided for connecting a peripheral to a micro control unit to exchange digital information under an external expansion memory mode of the micro control unit. For this purpose, the eternal expansion bus interface circuit includes a means for storing a writing data. Address decoder and a strobe decoder are connected to the micro control unit to directly receive the writing data, an address strobe, and a write strobe. Then the address decoder and strobe decoder produce a write enable signal for enabling the memory to store the data at address designated thereby.
