Abstract: A transmission device and an integrated circuit improved in quality and reliability of digital transmission control. A memory stores an input signal, write address generating means generates a write address for writing in the memory, and read address generating means generates a read address for reading from the memory. Phase state monitoring means monitors a transition from a steady phase state in which writing/reading in/from the memory is normally performed or from a startup state to a coincident phase state in which address values of the write and read addresses coincide with each other or to an unstable phase state in which a phase fluctuation margin is one-sided. When the coincident phase state or the unstable phase state is detected, reset signal output means outputs a reset signal to the write and read address generating means such that the phase relation between the write and read addresses is brought to an optimum phase relation.
