Abstract:
1. A driving device, comprising: a clock signal generating unit configured to receive a first clock signal of a differential signaling system and generate a second clock signal from the first clock signal; an input unit configured to input a data signal; a first timing generating unit configured to select either a rising edge or a falling edge of the second clock signal based on first information included in the data signal and to generate a first signal by counting sequential occurrences of the selected edge of the second clock signal based on the first information; a second timing generating unit configured to select either a rising edge or a falling edge of the second clock signal based on second information included in the data signal and to generate a second signal by counting sequential occurrences the selected edge of the second clock signal based on the second information; a logical circuit configured to generate a pulse signal based on the first signal and the second signal; and a driving circuit configured to drive a driven element using the pulse signal generated by the logical circuit.
