A receiving apparatus includes: a deinterleaving device configured to perform a deinterleaving process on an LDPC-coded data signal having undergone an interleaving process, the LDPC representing Low Density Parity Check, by use of a memory which has columns capable of storing as many as “a” data, the “a” being an integer of at least 1; and a control device configured such that if the data signal is supplied in units of N data, the N being an integer smaller than the “a,” the control device controls the deinterleaving device to write the data signal to a predetermined address of the memory while reading previously written data from the predetermined address in a write period, the control device further controlling the deinterleaving device to stop writing the data signal to the predetermined address of the memory while reading the previously written data from the predetermined address in a write inhibit period.
