A card controller receives data from a recording card via a socket. A read clock is transmitted in a main transmission wiring, and the data is transmitted in a data transmission wiring. The read clock is withdrawn from the card controller by an outgoing transmission wiring and retrieved into the card controller by an incoming transmission wiring. A transmission delay amount of the outgoing transmission wiring is equal to that of the main transmission wiring, and a transmission delay amount of the incoming transmission wiring is equal to that of the data transmission wiring. The card controller receives the data in synchronization with the read clock retrieved by the incoming transmission wiring.
