The proposed method comprises preprocessing S1 the received encoded data signal; scanning S2 the received encoded data signal for a known start sequence and when a known start sequence is successfully detected then calculating S3 an actual frequency based on the detected start sequence; interpreting S4, a data block succeeding the start sequence using the assessed actual frequency; and assessing S5 whether to request adjustment S5 of the adjustable encoder clock frequency based on the scanning S2 and/or the interpretation S4.

An input/output interface is provided in which a logical value is expressed by a time difference between the transition edge of the transmission signal transmitting on the signal line (DATA) and a transition edge of a standard timing signal (CLK). Therefore, a large amount of data can be transmitted through one signal line. Since a large amount of data can be transmitted by one transmission, it is possible to substantially increase the data transfer rate. Since only a small number of the signal lines are necessary, it is possible to reduce the number of input circuits and output circuits of the transmission signals, to reduce power consumption, and to reduce the wiring area of the signal lines.

A voice signal or a modem signal input into a transmitter is coded, and the coded signal is transmitted from the transmitter to a receiver through a digital transmission line. In this voice coding apparatus, when the input modem signal is a modem signal output from a high-speed modem, it is transmitted without low bit rate compression. By virtue of this constitution, the voice coding apparatus can realize high-speed modem transmission not involving a lowering in transmission speed.
