To provide a parallel/serial conversion circuit having a plurality of parallel/serial converters, which can shorten the time necessary for perform parallel/serial conversion and can suppress expansion of the circuit scale.
The parallel/serial conversion circuit 10 includes two-channel parallel/serial converters 11a, 11b and a clock generator 12. If a parallel data signal 7a of the parallel/serial converter 11a has a frequency Fpa (Hz), a bit number for the parallel data signal is Na (bit), a frequency Fpb (Hz) for a parallel data signal 7b of the parallel/serial converter 11b is, and the parallel data signal 7b has a bit number Nb (bit); the clock generator 12 oscillates a clock signal 5, having a fixed frequency higher than Fpa × Na (Hz) and Fpb × Nb (Hz) and moreover nearly equal thereto.
