Abstract:
1. An audio data receiving apparatus comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive audio data sampled in accordance with a first clock signal; a synchronization unit configured to generate a second clock signal that is synchronized with the first clock signal by extracting clock components contained in the audio data; a demodulator configured to demodulate the audio data in accordance with the second clock signal; an oversampling unit configured to oversample the audio data demodulated by the demodulator by using a frequency which is higher than a frequency of the second clock signal and which is obtained by use of the second clock signal; a clock generator configured to generate a third clock signal having a frequency which is equal to a frequency of the first clock signal; and a data output unit configured to output the audio data oversampled by the oversampling unit in accordance with the third clock signal generated by the clock generator, in which the third clock signal generated by the clock generator is asynchronous with the first clock signal such that the first clock signal is not utilized to generate the third clock signal, wherein the oversampling unit oversamples the audio data by using a frequency obtained by multiplying the frequency of the second clock signal by n, where n is an integer between 256 and 1024, inclusive, wherein the oversampling unit has a buffer for temporarily storing the oversampled audio data, and wherein the data output unit reads the oversampled audio data from the buffer in accordance with the third clock signal.
