A signal transfer circuit comprising a control signal transfer unit configured to output an access request output signal and a memory address output signal to the arbiter after timings of the access request input signal of the access request and the memory address input signal input from the bus master have been adjusted, and output an access permission output signal, and a data signal transfer unit configured to output each data output signal to the corresponding bus master or the arbiter after a timing of each data input signal of the access request input from the arbiter or the bus master is adjusted, and output a data validity period output signal to the bus master after a timing of a data validity period input signal indicating a period in which each data is valid in the access request input from the arbiter is adjusted.
